We are genuinely a learning organisation, and aim to use feedback, compliments and complaints to continuously improve across the organisation. Each year we publish the ratio of compliments to complaints received. In 2023/24 we received 13 compliments to every complaint.

We investigate complaints in line with the Complaint Handling Code of the Ombudsman. We annually complete the self-assessment form of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, as well as the self-assessment form of the Housing Ombudsman. We also complete a complaint performance and improvement report in line with the Ombudsman’s requirements.

While each compliment gives us a very welcome reflection of what we are doing well for the community, we also see every complaint as an opportunity to review, understand, and improve.

Please feel free to raise compliments, complaints and general feedback with either the particular service you are involved with, or with our Customer Experience team at Amelie House which you can contact by email: customerexperience@jcare.org, by post, or if you wish to speak to someone from the Customer Experience Team, please call 020 8922 2324, leave your name and number and someone will call you back.

Our Complaint handling policy gives more details on how to raise your feedback and the process we have in place to respond to complaints. You can also find an easy-to-read version of the policy in the  Your View Counts leaflet.
