We will investigate a complaint and provide a full written response within ten working days of it being registered.

If you don’t feel your issue has been resolved, you will be given details to contact our Resolutions Team. They will work with you to agree next steps.
This could include referral to a senior manager at Eastlight in a different department who has not previously been involved in the complaint or directly responsible for the service provided to ensure impartiality.
If you remain unhappy with the outcome of the review, in line with the Housing Ombudsman code you will be given details of how to refer your complaint to a designated person or to the Housing Ombudsman.
