Service standards are there to ensure we’re all working to the best!
Our new service standards were co-created with the Customer Service Improvement Panel that consists of 4 highly involved residents. They told us that they wanted service standards that were values based and achieved openness, honesty, respect, care, and partnership working. Our staff have also been involved to shape the values and behaviours.
There are an above average number of legislative changes impacting on the Housing Sector either being enacted or proposed.
BCHG has assessed the impact of all of this legislation and at this stage has no significant concerns while continually being a learning organisation, preparing to adapt to any necessary changes.
