Customer voice panels - how they've made an impact

How the Customer Voice Panels have made positive changes in 2025.

Posted | 11 March 2025

Listening to your feedback is one of the best ways to make sure we’re delivering the services you want, in the way you want them. The new Customer Voice Panels are seeing more of you get involved and shape the areas that matter most to you, in a way that suits you. Plus, they help us hear from a diverse range of voices.

Here's how the Customer Voice Panels have already made an impact in 2025:

The Income Panel reviewed our Former Tenant Arrears Policy because we wanted to make our policies and letters about former tenant arrears clearer and more supportive.

You said: You wanted us to avoid abbreviations, include steps to contact next of kin, and differentiate letters for tenants with arrears and those in credit.

We did: We’ve heard you loud and clear and made those changes! We’ve also added repayment plan information right at the start and included important references in all letters.

The Communications Panel looked over our rent and service charge letters.

You said: You wanted our rent increase letters to be clearer and for us to move the rent and service charge table down the page.

We did: We’ve done just that, making the rent breakdown clearer and highlighting the next steps and support sections for better visibility.

We’re working on improving our building safety and resident communication and our High-Rise Customer Panel met to discuss it.

You said: You wanted our safety letters to go into more detail so you can be more confident about your safety.

We did: We updated our safety letters to clarify the Stay put policy and the different types of alarms in each building.  

Thanks to your input, our letters and policies are now clearer and more supportive. We’ll keep listening to keep improving our services.
