Are you happy with Eastlight? Does our repairs service meet your needs? Do you feel safe at home? Do we listen to you?
Every month, these questions and more are posed to residents on our behalf by an organisation called Acuity Research & Practice. The results, which are called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), show where you are happy with the homes and services we provide - and where we need to make improvements.
All housing associations like Eastlight must report these to the Regulator of Social Housing, which in April 2024 received more powers to ensure landlords meet the needs of residents.
You know better than anyone what you need to be safe and happy in your home, and these surveys are one opportunity to tell us whether we are meeting your expectations.
We will use your feedback to identify where we need to make improvements and introduce them.
Every month, an organisation called Acuity Research & Practice will contact a sample of Eastlight residents to ask them to complete a survey about our services.
It will include a variety of questions ranging from the type of services you receive to the way we communicate with you.
Acuity will contact you by phone via the number 01376 435016. Taking part is completely optional.
If you are contacted, you can choose to remain anonymous and/or decline follow-up contact after completing the survey.
If you do agree to follow-up communication, Eastlight or Acuity may get in touch to ask for more detail. This helps us better understand your feedback and supports our ongoing trend and survey analysis to improve our services.
Other Tenant Satisfaction Measures, such as how often we complete repairs on time and whether your homes meet the Decent Homes standard, are collected by us.
We have partnered with Acuity Research & Practice to collect Tenant Satisfaction Measure (TSM) survey results on our behalf.
Some resident contact information has been shared with Acuity only for the use of this survey to invite residents to take part.
Acuity does not share any data with any other organisations.
