Housing Ombudsman
ALL CHANGE: COMPLAINTS IN THE NEW REGULATORY LANDSCAPE
Rafael RuncoDeputy Housing Ombudsman
Housing & Regeneration Act 2008 – Tenant Services Authority, Homes & Communities Agency, National Tenant Voice... Housing Ombudsman Service [Local Government Ombudsman]
1st April 2010 > all “social” housing within single regulatory framework
Nine Standards – complaints central to co-regulatory approach: Standard One and Local Offers
Protocols – TSAHOSLGONo overlap between Ombudsman schemes
HOS’s support programme for tenants: joint initiatives with TAROE, TPAS, InSTEP, etc.
Housing Ombudsman ServiceAll “registered providers” and some private landlords and managing agents.
Local Government OmbudsmanAll local authorities (Councils and ALMOs)
What do we have now
Coalition Government
What about tenant complaints?
The focus on complaints will
continue...
REPORT PROBLEM
USE INTERNAL COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
CONTACT OMBUDSMAN

“GATEWAY”
Adequate complaint handling alone will not be enough.
There will have to be an even more robust tenant involvementculture.
But...
What will be the role of the
Ombudsman?
Putting complainants back in the position they were in before the failure in
landlord’s service.
Improving services for residents by promoting
learning from complaints.
HOS not a regulator – not even by the back door...Enhanced powers – enforcing decisions in CourtBUT...
Gateway (local filter) independent of Ombudsman? Prevention work and training? No inspection regime (Audit Commission also gone!) –
who will have a clear idea of the big picture? “Slimmed down” HCA with limited regulatory
remit? Single domain and Standards here to stay – Will
there be a single Ombudsman for housing?
