Helping us improve our service to you www.pennaf.co.uk Opening Doors – Enhancing Lives Clwyd Alyn and Tyˆ Glas are charitable Industrial and Provident Societies

Compliments, Concerns and Complaints We strive to achieve the highest standards of customer service and care in serving you. We aim to learn from what you tell us we’re doing well and if you have a concern or a complaint we aim to learn from your feedback.

Telling us when you are dissatisfied with our service is important as it means we have an opportunity to put things right there and then and improve the service in the future.

We welcome your feedback by telephone but you may be asked to complete a concerns and complaint form to ensure we have a full understanding of where we did not meet your expectations. It also helps us to understand what you think should be done to put things right.

We can provide help in completing the form.

This information leaflet tells you how to make a compliment, express a concern or make a complaint and what we will do to resolve it promptly and fairly.

Contact Us You can contact The Pennaf Housing Group and offer your feedback by: Writing or filling in the form attached to this leaflet and posting it to: The Pennaf Housing Group 72 Ffordd William Morgan St Asaph Business Park St Asaph, Denbighshire LL17 0JD E-mailing: sheryl.meakin@pennaf.co.uk Telephoning: Customer Services: 0800 183 5757 (local rate call) Compliments, Concerns and Complaints Team: 01745 536891 / 536802 PenAlyn: 01745 536100 Faxing: 01745 538392

Compliments

Policy

If you wish to compliment a service or an employee then you should contact the service you have been dealing with, the Customer Services Team or the Complaints Team. Your feedback will be acknowledged and recorded on our database

A full copy of our Compliments, Concerns and Complaints Policy can be made available upon request.

Concerns and Complaints When you express a concern or make a complaint we will usually respond in the way we explain on the next page.

However if you’re approaching us for the first time, e.g. if you wish to report a missed maintenance appointment or if you need the assistance of a Housing Officer, then this procedure doesn’t apply. You should first give us a chance to respond to your request.

You can make a request for service by contacting either our Customer Services Team or the PenAlyn Maintenance Services Team.

Normally we only look at your concerns or complaints if you tell us about them within 12 months. This is because it’s better to look into things while the issues are fresh in everyone’s mind.

How we Process your Concerns and Complaints

also ask you what outcome you are hoping for. We aim to resolve Stage 2 complaints within 20 working days

Stage 1: Informal Resolution

from receipt but if your complaint is more complex we will let you know within this time why we think it may take longer to consider.

If possible, we believe it’s best to deal with things straight away rather than try to sort them out later.

Contact the service you have been dealing with, the Customer Services Team, or the Complaints Team. Your complaint will be recorded and the officer will try to resolve it for you there and then. If the concern or complaint cannot be sorted out informally within about 10 days, or is complicated, it will be investigated at Stage 2.

Stage 2: Formal Investigation If you are not satisfied with the response you receive from us at the Informal Resolution Stage, you can ask for your complaint to be escalated to Stage 2. Contact the Complaints Team and they will arrange for the complaint to be investigated by the Departmental Director. The attached form is available for your use. We will tell you who has been asked to look into your complaint and we will

Stage 3: External Appeal If we do not succeed in resolving your complaint, you may complain to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales.

The Ombudsman is independent of the Pennaf Housing Group and can look into your complaint if you believe that you, personally, or the person on whose behalf you are complaining, have been treated badly or received a bad service.

You can contact the Ombudsman by e-mail ask@ombudsman-wales. org.uk or telephone 0845 601 0987.

You can also write to Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, 1 Ffordd yr Hen Gae, Pencoed, CF35 5LJ and further information can be found on: www.ombudsman-wales.org.uk

Pryderon a Chwynion Pan fyddwch yn mynegi pryder neu’n cyflwyno cwyn fel arfer byddwn yn ymateb yn y ffordd yr ydym yn ei hesbonio ar y dudalen nesaf. Ond, os ydych yn cysylltu â ni am y tro cyntaf, e.e. os dymunwch roi adroddiad am apwyntiad cynnal a chadw a gollwyd neu os bydd arnoch angen cymorth Swyddog Tai, yna nid yw’r weithdrefn yma yn berthnasol.

Fel arfer ni fyddwn yn edrych ar eich pryderon neu gwynion oni bai eich bod yn dweud wrthym amdanynt cyn pen 12 mis. Mae hyn oherwydd ei bod yn well edrych ar bethau tra bydd y digwyddiadau yn ffres yng nghof pawb.

Sut y byddwn yn Prosesu eich Pryderon a Chwynion Cam 1: Datrysiad Anffurfiol Os yn bosibl, credwn ei bod yn well ymdrin â phethau yn syth yn hytrach na cheisio eu datrys yn nes ymlaen.

Os na ellir datrys y pryder neu gwˆ yn yn anffurfiol cyn pen tua 10 diwrnod, neu os bydd yn gymhleth, bydd yn cael ei hymchwilio ar Gam 2.

Cam 2: Ymchwiliad Ffurfiol Os nad ydych yn fodlon ar yr ymateb y byddwch yn ei dderbyn gennym ni yn y Cam Datrysiad Anffurfiol, gallwch ofyn i’ch cwyn gael ei symud ymlaen i Gam 2. Cysylltwch â’r Tîm Cwynion a byddant yn trefnu i’r gwˆ yn gael ei hymchwilio gan y Cyfarwyddwr Adrannol. Mae’r ffurflen sydd yn atodedig ar gael i chi ei defnyddio.

cwyn a byddwn hefyd yn gofyn am ba ganlyniad yr ydych yn gobeithio.

Rydym yn anelu at ddatrys cwynion Cam 2 cyn pen 20 diwrnod gwaith o’u derbyn ond os yw eich cwyn yn fwy cymhleth byddwn yn rhoi gwybod i chi o fewn yr amser hwn pam ein bod yn meddwl y gall gymryd mwy o amser i’w hystyried.

Cam 3: Apêl Allanol Os na fyddwn yn llwyddo i ddatrys eich cwyn, gallwch gyflwyno cwyn i Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru.

Mae’r Ombwdsmon yn annibynnol o Grwˆ p Tai Pennaf a gall edrych ar eich cwyn os credwch eich bod chi, yn bersonol, neu’r unigolyn yr ydych yn cwyno ar ei ran, wedi cael eich trin yn wael neu gael gwasanaeth gwael.
