Wrekin Voices Update 20 September 2024

Welcome to our latest Wrekin Voices update. 

If you would like to share ideas and catch up with other Wrekin voices we have a Wrekin Voices Facebook group. You can join here.

Ways to get involved 

We're looking for customers to help Wrekin meet the standards of the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code.

Your involvement will play a key role in improving our complaint handling process and ensuring transparency for all residents.

 We need help reviewing nine key areas:

  • Definition of a complaint
  • Exclusions
  • Accessibility & awareness
  • Complaint handling staff
  • Complaint handling process
  • Complaint stages
  • Putting things right
  • Self-assessment reporting & compliance
  • Scrutiny & oversight

To take part you will need to have a good understanding of:

  • Reading and analysing reports
  • Requesting information to support findings
  • Communicating results clearly (written, verbal, electronic)

Taking no longer than three months, your input will ensure we remain compliant with the Ombudsman’s standards.
If you are interested please email a few lines explaining why you would like to take part and the skills you can bring to the process to getinvolved@wrekin.com

Working together

Police Open Day

We had a fantastic day at the Malinsgate Police Open Day on Sunday. Despite the heavy rain, it was a very busy event where we had lots of conversations with customers and members of the public. We had staff members from our retirement living schemes who were on hand to talk about property lettings for the over 55s and Gemma was spreading some sunshine with her fantastic face painting designs.

Anti Social Behavior (ASB) Focus Group

A group of tenants joined Neighbourhood Manager, Phil Heywood and Anti Social Behaviour Coordinator Jenny Jackson to discuss Wrekin's ASB service and process. It was a great opportunity to discuss the impact of ASB and share ideas for future service development.

ShireLiving Voices

Representatives from across our ShireLiving schemes came together to discuss all events and trips this week. Members meet quarterly to help improve the ShireLiving service and share ideas. You can find out more about ShireLiving here.
