In April 2023, the Regulator of Social Housing introduced changed the way we carry out satisfaction surveys with social housing tenants. The S4B Satisfaction Survey now follows set questions provided by the regulator and Manchester City Council.
It is important to note that this new survey takes a much broader view of all services and includes repairs, as well as a review of customer opinion of the neighbourhood services provided by S4B in Brunswick. Direct comparison with previous years will not be possible on many areas due to the changed format and audience.
The survey was undertaken by Onward Homes’ S4B Housing Management Team with technical support being provided by Onward Homes’ Analytics and Insight Team between October and December 2023.
Here are the results of four key areas of the survey for S4B here:
