Focus on your voice
Your Voice
We’re committed to continually improving our homes and services we offer. But we don’t just make changes for the sake of it. We want to hear exactly what our customers think. At the end of the day, who knows the place where you live better than you?
The best way to help us provide the services that you really want is for you to get involved and have your say on what really matters to you, your family and the community around you. We want you to feel empowered and think positively about your future with us.
In recent times, we’ve widened the scope of these opportunities and made them more accessible. Our new flexible approach means more people can have their say as we look to improve our services. It also ensures we actively use any feedback - however small, and handle complaints and compliments as part of our wider work too.
We offer a range of opportunities for customers to have their say on what matters - whether that’s our performance, reviewing our processes and policies, looking at where we work, or even just giving us views on projects we are working on. And we have more formal routes to share compliments or make a complaint - check out say it below to find out more. There are lots of ways to make a difference, so if you’re interested, get in touch.
Say it
Whether you’ve got something to say – good or bad – we’d like to hear it. You can call us up anytime on 0800 027 2057 to let us know about our homes or services or email info@acisgroup.co.uk.
If you feel you need to make a formal complaint, we have a formal process to go through and we will investigate in a fair an honest way. It’s important you give us as much detail as possible to help us to try and resolve the situation. You can make a complaint by filling in the form at the bottom of this page under contact us, or get in touch with us on 0800 027 2057 to speak to us or request a form to be posted out.
What we did: Following feedback, we made changes to our repairs and maintenance services by launching Prime and bringing new customer-focused features to our delivery
View it
We regularly take a stroll around our estates to see if everything’s going okay. You’re more than welcome to join us on these inspections and point out anything that you think might need improving and discuss ideas for what we can do to improve the area. We’ll do whatever we can to address any issues we find. Find the next ‘view it’ tour near you on our view it page. You can also see what actions have been taken on previous view it's in the past few months.
What we did: On the back of our ‘view it’ tours, we’ve been able to undertake big tidy up events and develop plans for new fences and driveways.
Talk it
Tenants and residents living local to each other join forces to discuss issues affecting their community – not just housing-related issues. Groups could even choose to become a formal Tenant and Resident Group or Association (sometimes known as a TARA), with their own committee.
What we did: Through working with these groups, we’ve developed plans to improve community facilities and increase engagement activities where there was demand.
Review it
The way we conduct our day to day work obviously has an impact on our tenants. We invite all our customers to have their say on any new policy or strategy before it goes to our Board for approval. This is a quick and easy way to get involved as you can review one, or review every document that we publish for comment – just sign up for alerts as we publish them here.
What we did: Our tenants were instrumental in the redesign of our Home News magazine, working closely with the Marketing team.
Discuss it
They say a problem shared is a problem halved. We regularly hold small group workshops where you can discuss or answer questions on a variety of topics to shape our services going forward. This could be anything from customer service, communications through to gas servicing or repairs. At these we always share the notes with you once all the sessions are completed, and share the results of the project before we communicate it any wider so you can ensure we’ve reflected you’ve collective views properly.
What we did: Following general feedback, we’ve been able to refresh our ‘customer journey’, making it simpler for customers to join us and settle into their new homes.
Improve it
Our well-respected improve it group - the our Tenant-Led Scrutiny Panel - involves up to 12 tenants which operate on behalf of other tenants, ensuring everyone receives services of the highest standard. Taking an independent view of our performance, the group looks at various topics to see if they can be delivered better.
We’re always looking for new members to get involved with this panel, which undertakes a variety of research to get to the bottom of how tenants feel about the services we deliver. The work’s fast-paced and is a great opportunity to develop your skills.
What we did: On the back of the panel’s recommendations, we’ve made improvements to the way we deal with empty properties and how we deliver our maintenance services.
