MHCLG Consultation on a single housing ombudsman

Summary

The recent MHCLG consultation seeks views on improving redress in the housing sector, including exploring the option of a single housing ombudsman, and will close on 16 April 2018.

Issues covered, include:

• the current complaints and redress landscape, how it is working and if more can be done to improve it
• what standards and services should be expected of a redress scheme/an ombudsman
• how to fill the existing gaps between current services
• whether a single ombudsman service is needed to simplify access to redress across housing, and if so, what form that should take and what its remit should be.
