Complaints


We are committed to providing a high-quality service for our customers and working in an open and accountable way that builds trust and respect. We strive to deliver excellent services but know that sometimes things go wrong.

Every quarter we provide information on our website to give you some insight into how many complaints we have had, what they are about, how we have responded and what lessons have we learned from the feedback. We hope you find this useful.

What We Have Learned

Case 1: The Complaint
No communication when a privacy screen was installed in a communal area. Customer was upset they couldn’t birdwatch, and impacted them as the communal area became darker.
Case 1: Our Response
The privacy screen was installed following a previous complaint; but there should have been better communication to all residents to inform of this change. In future communication to all residents will be provided when something new will be installed.
Case 2: The Complaint
Resident was unhappy with the length of time taken to resolve ASB and the customer felt they were not listened to and their ASB hadn’t been resolved in a timely manner.
Case 2: Our Response
There were no failures in this complaint, however it was highlighted residents aren’t aware of the timescales and to realign residents. We need to educate and communicate to all residents who raise ASB the timescales and expectations around ASB.
Case 3: The Complaint
A complaint was raised as the resident Wi-Fi had not worked for a few weeks and they couldn't access internet in their own home.
Case 3: Our Response
There was a delay in the parts coming in due to location, it sadly had no fixed timeline. This was sadly not communicated to the resident or the supported housing team. A temporary Wi-Fi was installed which gave all residents the opportunity to access internet.

We hope you find this overview useful. If you have any questions then please contact Chloe McDonald via complaints@saha.org.uk


Many thanks to everyone who gave us feedback – learning from system failures and mistakes gives us an opportunity to improve our service.
