Our tenant satisfaction surveys

Left Panel Title
Intro Text

We use an independent market research company called Acuity to collect feedback from our tenants, via three different monthly surveys.

Acuity may call, email or text you after you have received a service from us that you have asked for.

Acuity will call you from the telephone number 01449 546003. For more information, you can visit Acuity's website or read our resident satisfaction survey FAQs.

The surveys ask for your views on:

  • a recent repair
  • your move to one of our homes
  • your experience reporting an antisocial behaviour complaint

We use this information to understand what we are doing well and where we can improve.

You can respond to the surveys anonymously. However, if you agree to share your contact details with us, we can respond directly to any urgent concerns you may have.

If you want to discuss a problem directly with us, you can also contact us.

The results of these surveys are published on this webpage. 

If you have any questions, please email tenant.engagement@baberghmidsuffolk.gov.uk

Antisocial behaviour survey results

Our antisocial behaviour survey helps us to understand how happy our tenants are with the way we handle their antisocial behaviour complaints. 

The survey contains ten questions, including two questions where a tenant can give views on how we could make improvements. Around ten tenants are randomly selected each month by Acuity to complete the survey. The tenants selected will have had a antisocial behaviour complaint closed during the month before.

Our staff use the results and feedback to look at areas where we can improve our service for tenants.  Earlier this year, the Tenant Board made the decision to review the Antisocial Behaviour service after reviewing transactional satisfaction scores.  

As a result of the review, 32 recommendations have been put together in an action plan to improve the service.

You said We will
I'm not always kept informed of when my repair will be completed. We have launched a new IT system that will mean that we can keep tenants up-to-date on their repair through things like text messaging and emails. 
We want a repairs service that cares about our homes. 

Our repairs team have come up with some new repair pledges, reflecting what tenants say is important to them.  These are: 

  • Timely appointments: ensuring appointments are prompt and convenient 
  • Communication: keeping tenants updated at every stage of their repair 
  • Tidiness: always leaving the work area clean and tidy - respecting an individuals home
  • Right first time: getting the job done correctly the first time, every time 
  • Respectful and friendly: ensuring our team members are courteous and respectful 
  • Good quality of work: taking pride in delivering high-quality workmanship on every repair 
It's not always clear who is responsible for what repair, or what timescales these repairs have. We have published our Repairs Policy which has been updated to show who is responsible for each repair, and the timescales you can expect from us.
