Make a complaint
If you're unhappy with the service you've received, you can make a complaint. It’s important for us to learn from our mistakes and improve our service. Complaints are reviewed by our customer solutions team.
If you have a general enquiry or you’re checking for an update on something you’ve already told us about, there may be a more appropriate team to contact.
We fully support the government's #makethingsright campaign.

How we learn from complaints
Complaints offer us the chance to examine and investigate areas where we are not providing services to the high standards we expect. We will take the learning from the mistakes we make to ensure we continually improve our services and the things that are important to customers.
Colleagues right across Bromford are involved in managing, responding and reporting on complaints, including our board, executive team and senior managers. Customers are also involved, through our Customer and Community Influence Network which receives regular reports on our complaints performance and helps us to complete regular self-assessments against the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code.
You can also read our annual complaints performance and service improvement report 2024 for more information on how we have performed during the past year.
