They are designed to be easy to understand and to reflect the languages spoken by social housing residents in England. We will soon be undertaking the next phase of this project to include more languages.
Richard Blakeway, Housing Ombudsman, said: “Our new multilingual videos are an important step in making our service more accessible and inclusive.
“They provide residents with clear, easy-to-understand guidance on how to make a complaint and what to expect from the process. By reflecting the languages spoken by social housing residents in England, we’re helping to ensure that everyone can access the support they need. We’re proud of this progress and will continue expanding the project to reach even more communities.”
