A guide to making complaints for sherltered housing residents

Part of the confusion evidenced by Help the Aged's report, Nobody's Listening, was how older people could take their complaints further, when their landlord had responded but they were still dissatisfied. In addition to the Ombudman services (the Housing Ombudsman and the Local government Ombudsman), there is now the regulator for social housing, the Tenant Services Authority, and the new tenants' body, the National Tenant Voice. This complaints guide has been written to help older people identify which service they can approach, when and with what information, and how each might be able to help them. Hard copies are available from policy@cih.org
