Help & Support

From April 2023, all housing associations are required to survey their social housing residents using the same set of Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) questions, prescribed by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), asked in the same way and in the same order. Having a consistent set of questions will better help us and the Regulator identify where we need to improve and where we are doing well. VIVID and all other housing associations must report our results to the Regulator in April 2024. We must also publish our results to customers, so please look out for these on our website and in our newsletters.

TLF Research carry out this survey on our behalf and will be running the survey four times a year. Our next survey is taking from the 26th February to 28th March, so if you receive a phone call from TLF Research, we'd be grateful if you would take the time to provide your feedback on your experience of VIVID. We'll share the survey results with you later in the spring.

We analyse your feedback to draw out trends and recurring issues. This then feeds into our ongoing improvement work. We embrace all kinds of feedback, as without knowing where we've gone wrong, we'll never be able to improve.

We really value your feedback. We know that there are clear areas where we need to improve our service to customers (such as the length of time for repairs to be carried out and how easy it is to get in contact with us). We're working hard across the organisation to address these issues. For example, introducing virtual appointments to assess requested repairs. These virtual appointments will be used to better identify the materials and time required to complete repairs and will provide a better service to our customers. All teams are also focused on calling customers back when we say we will, and we are working to reduce call wait times to 15 minutes or less.

Please be aware that any dissatisfaction you may express through our surveys will be analysed to identify common themes to inform where we need to make improvements but will not be treated as an individual complaint.

If you do wish to make a complaint, you can find out more in this article
