Find out how we are doing - from repairs performance and customer satisfaction to the impact we have on our communities and the work we do with partners.
In January 2022, we asked you to tell us know what information you’d like to see about how we are doing. We also set our targets based on whether you thought these were too high, too low or just right.
As a result of this, we have put together a set of performance indicators for you to view and hold us to account.
You can view October - December 2022 performance here.
You can view July -September 2022 performance here.
You can view April - June 2022 performance here.
If you have any questions or comments, or want to see our performance in another area, get in touch.
You can contact us by emailing getinvolved@peaksplains.org.
For each quarter we have provided a text version for easy-reading.
How we performed (October - December 2022)
Contacting us
Average call waiting time performance declined in
December. This decrease in performance is due to
the overwhelming demand for service arising
from the spell of freezing weather experienced in
mid December.
The Trust and Out of Hours service experienced
an unprecedented volume of calls relating to
frozen and burst pipes, failed hot water and
central heating systems.
David Squires | Head of Customer Services
How well we handle your repairs
The average time taken to deliver larger repairs undertaken by the Trust is starting to reduce. This is supported with customer satisfaction data on time taken to undertake repairs also improving. The new service standards introduced earlier this year, with the support from the
Customer Challenge Group have now been embedded and improvements from that work are now being seen.
Michaela Burns | Repairs and Maintenance Manager
Tenant satisfaction
Acuity completed the third quarter of the perception survey using our customer data and customers contact preferences. Of the customers
contacted, 254 customers completed a
survey.
Good news, overall customer satisfaction is 80%, up 8% from June to September.
The ASB service - it is up from 78% to 91.03%.

The condition and safety of your home
We've changed this performance indicator since Q2.
This number represents what % of all the tests and inspections that are due across the full portfolio have been completed. It gives a much
better feel for how we are actually performing in the context of everything that we have to do.

Complaints
We are listening to what you are telling us and are looking at ways to use your feedback to improve our services using any lessons learned from complaints. We will update you regularly to let you know what we have been doing and why.
Amanda Libecans | Customer Services Manager
All complaints received between October -
December were responded to within timescales.
Staff who are responsible for dealing with
complaints have received refresher training to
ensure the quality of responses remain high.
Our promise to customers is that we will do this on a regular basis.

How we performed (July - September 2022)
Contacting us
The time is takes us on average to pick up the phone to you when you ring our contact centre remains low. We are also reviewing the options on our phone line to make it even easier for you when you call.

How well we handle your repairs
Good progress has been made this year; we are not experiencing the same staffing issues as we did last year. We are in control of the planning of this area and continue to focus on getting appointments booked within target and ensuring we prioritise the more urgent jobs.
Michaela Burns | Repairs and Maintenance Manager
Tenant satisfaction
We have seen a slight decrease in satisfaction from last time.
Customers told us that we need to improve our communication and make sure that we keep you updated about your repairs especially if we are facing delays. We hope to see this improve in our next results.
We have, however, seen a big improvement from April - July, in satisfaction with the ASB service - it is up from 78% to 91.03%.
Rachel Marsland | Customer Voice Manager
The condition and safety of your home
We monitor the performance of 48 separate compliance areas every month. These include gas servicing, electrical safety, fire safety, lift servicing but also smaller programme areas including electric gates, roller shutter doors, power assisted doors and column lights. If there is any reason that has meant that any component within our full list has surpassed its anniversary date it will affect this reported figure.
This could happen for many reasons such as: a specialist contractor may have been unavailable, or a tenant refused us access to their home.
Each month the detail behind the figure is reported to our Board and our Performance Management Group so that we can constantly monitor the risk.

Complaints
The number of complaints has remained consistent in Q1 with the majority being closed through first stage resolution.
In Q2, the Trust is focusing on learning from complaints and making service improvements to reduce the same issues being repeated.
One complaint at review stage exceeded the deadline by one day in April which affected the performance figures. All other complaints the Trust has received since then have been responded to within the given timescale.
The Complaints Team monitors all cases and checks the Investigating Officer is on track to deliver the response on time.
