Thank you for your continued patience while we investigate the third-party IT security incident that has impacted our case management system.

As we set out in earlier communications, the incident has been contained, and we are working with the external supplier of our case management system to investigate.

If you need to raise a new complaint about your landlord with us in the meantime, please email us at info@housing-ombudsman.org.uk  or call us on 0300 111 3000. We’re working to handle enquiries and cases where this is possible, notifying any customers and landlords where this is not possible

We’re working to restore our services as quickly as possible and will share updates when we can.

We have launched our third annual surveys of landlords and resident panel members to gather insight into landlords’ complaint handling including how they share learning from complaints.

Our 600 resident panel members have been invited to participate in the annual survey and give their views on their landlord’s complaint handling and how it promotes its complaints process including signposting residents to our service.

It also asks about resident involvement in their landlord’s self-assessment against our Complaint Handling Code and how landlords share learning with residents.

In this year’s landlord survey, we’re asking for feedback on the impact of our most recent Spotlight reports which focused on knowledge and information management and a follow up to our damp and mould report. The survey also features questions on demonstrating learning from complaints, how and when landlords tell residents about our service and their self-assessment against our Complaint Handling Code.

We’re also asking landlords about how they monitor accessibility.

Our landlord survey is open to all member landlords and responses are welcome from people in different roles across the organisation or it can be a single collective response. The survey closes on 1 September 2023.
