Our Meet the Ombudsman events are an important part of raising awareness and understanding of our service among residents.
Our aim is to reach as many residents of scheme member landlords as possible - including tenants, leaseholders, and local authority residents.
Our one-hour online ‘Meet The Ombudsman’ sessions feature a brief introduction by the Ombudsman and/or representatives, providing a unique opportunity for your residents and colleagues to ask questions about our process to make decisions on casework.
