We have published our Customer Annual Report 2023/24
The report, available on our customer website, acknowledges the improvements needed in some areas to deliver better quality services to customers. We also explain our improvement plans, including for repairs, complaints and managing customer enquiries.
Customer feedback
In the report, we demonstrate how we’ve been taking customers’ views into account to make changes and improvements.Last year, we launched our new Customer Involvement Programme. We had more than 200 residents sign-up to take part in surveys and workshops to give feedback on a range of areas including complaints, policies, communications and digital services.
Costs of providing services
The report also includes information for customers on the cost of providing services. As a not-for-profit housing organisation, we have several income sources, with the largest from social rent income (59% in 2023/24). Visit the Cost of Providing Services section of the report for more information.Ian Wardle, Chief Executive Officer at A2Dominion, said: “Last year saw the beginning of important changes at A2Dominion. We’ve started working with customers more to develop plans for improving our services and shaping future priorities. We’re making progress, and while we recognise there’s still lots to do, we’re determined to get there. We have a clear plan of improvement over the next 2 to 3 years and we are committed to building stronger foundations and doing better for customers.”
A2Dominion’s customer report, which we’ve produced in line with the Regulator of Social Housing’s consumer standards, was developed using customer feedback and with input from our Customer Services Committee.
Coretta Scott, an A2Dominion customer for 13 years and member of the Customer Services Committee, said: “I am passionate about making sure the voice of our customers is considered when decisions are being made at A2Dominion. A2Dominion is making it much easier for customers to get involved and share their experience. It is a huge step towards embedding a culture across the organisation that values the voice and experience of residents.”
