Feedback

We value your feedback. When you comment, complain or compliment, you’re telling us what we’re doing right and where we can improve our services.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide feedback, so there are lots of different ways to get in touch:

You can:

• Call us on 0344 736 0063
• Email info@redwing.co.uk
• Log into The Hub at https://www.redwing.co.uk/the-hub
• Write to us at Redwing,16 Duke Street, Liverpool, L1 5GB
• Go to our office and speak to a member of staff
• Send us a message through our Facebook page, Twitter channel or Instagram 

Whatever way to choose to contact us, we want to hear from you. Your feedback makes a real difference to the services we provide.

Compliment: complimentary feedback about our services. We welcome all types of feedback and our staff particularly enjoy receiving compliments, especially when they know they have made a customer happy.  Please let us know and we can pass on your thanks!

Comment: general feedback about our services which may include ideas, suggestions and solutions about how we could improve our services.  Your comments about our services may be used during policy reviews so please let us know if you have any ideas about how you think we could do things better.

Complaint: an expression of dissatisfaction. This could be about the standard of our service, or perhaps you feel we have not delivered the services to agreed standards, quality or timescales.  Unfortunately, sometimes things do go wrong and we encourage you to let us know when this has been the case so we can put things right and hopefully prevent it from happening again to you or another customer.

First Time Resolution

When we receive your complaint, we will aim to resolve it when you first tell us that you are unhappy with our service; this is referred to as a First Time Resolution. We will acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days and aim to provide a resolution by the 5 working days.  

If we can't resolve your complaint at First Time Resolution, we will escalate your complaint to Final Resolution of the complaints process.

Final Resolution

We will agree a date with you to respond by, keep you informed of progress and give you the name of the Manager who is investigating your complaint. They will look at all the issues you have raised and will aim to respond within 15 working days.

We will contact you by telephone, letter or a home visit to discuss your complaint in more detail, to make sure that we understand why you are unhappy with our service, before providing you with a written response.

Next Steps

At any point throughout our complaints process, you may take your complaint to a Designated Person. A Designated Person can be a Member of Parliament, a Local Councillor in the area where you live, or a recognised residents’ panel. They will try and help you resolve your complaint locally.

If you are unhappy with our final response you can take your complaint to either the Housing Ombudsman Service or the Property Ombudsman Service.

The Housing Ombudsman Service is set up by law to look at complaints about housing organisations that are registered with us, including housing associations and local authorities.

Your feedback is important to us – it helps us to shape and improve our services.

To collect your feedback, we have partnered with CX Feedback to collect the views and opinions of our customers through email, text and call surveys.

If selected for the survey, your contact details will be shared in line with our  Data Privacy Notice. 

If you do not wish to be contacted for the survey, please let us know and we will ensure that your details are not shared, and you will not be contacted.

FAQ’s

What is CX Feedback? 

The system enables us to send out surveys via a telephone call, text, or email so that we can listen to your views on a range of subjects. 

How will I know that these surveys are from The Regenda Group?

The surveys will be sent to you directly by email, text or as an incoming call. They will have our recognisable branding from CX Feedback or Pexel.

If you are concerned that they are not genuine, you can contact us to check. 

 

Service Charge Feedback 

Service charges and their costs are unique to your building and your lease. Charged separate to your rent, service charges are necessary costs to maintain the property you live in and the communal surrounding areas - including (but are not limited to) the cost of gardening, cleaning and lighting for the areas you share with your neighbours. In some cases, your service charge may also cover communal gas, electric or water charges if you’re on a communal meter. 

If you have a query about your service charge, such as the nature or process, please contact us on 0344 736 0063 or speak to your Property Manager.

If you wish to dispute your service charges, such as the variable amount, you can raise this directly via the First Tier Tribunal. Find out more and apply here: Apply to the tribunal - GOVE.UK (www.gov.uk).

You can find further advice about your lease and charges here: The Leasehold Advisory Service (lease-advice.org)

If you need help or advice or want someone, such as relative, a friend or an adviser, to act on your behalf, you can do this if we have your permission to talk to them.

If you need help to find an adviser who is independent you can contact the Citizens Advice Bureau, Housing Aid Centre, Local Law Centre, a solicitor, your local Councillor or your Member of Parliament. You can find contact details for these in local directories or on the internet. Even if your complaint is still going through our process you can contact the Housing Ombudsman or Property Ombudsman for advice, they are unlikely to investigate your complaint until we have provided a Final Response, but they may be able to offer advice.
