We’re always keen to get feedback from our tenants and customers to help us improve the services we deliver.
If you’re a Bernicia tenant, you may receive a phone call from Kwest Research who we’ve recently appointed to help us with a telephone survey.
Here’s more information about the survey and why we’re doing it.
What are Tenant satisfaction measures (TSM’s)
TSM’s show and compare information on areas such as repairs, safety checks and complaints. From 1st April 2023, the Regulator of Social Housing is asking social landlords to collect and publish this information Regulator of Social Housing to introduce tenant satisfaction measures from 1 April 2023 – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures will:
There are 22 tenant satisfaction measures, covering five themes. 10 of these are management information reported by the landlord, and 12 will be measured by carrying out tenant perception surveys.
Who will we be collecting the Tenant Satisfaction Measures – perception survey?
Kwest Research has been appointed, to carry out the survey. They are an established organisation based in the UK, working on behalf of social housing landlords for more than 30 years.
