Making social housing a better place for everyone

The Housing Ombudsman Service is an independent, impartial, and free service for social housing residents. The Housing Ombudsman is inviting social housing residents in England to apply to join its Resident Panel and contribute to the work it’s doing to improve residents’ lives through landlords’ services. 

As a member of the panel, residents will be invited to share experiences and suggest improvements through regular meetings and virtual discussions with the Ombudsman. 

Richard Blakeway, Housing Ombudsman, said: “This is an important opportunity for residents to get involved in helping develop the work of the Ombudsman in the coming years. Over the past few years, the Resident Panel has provided us with vital feedback on projects such as the Complaint Handling Code and this will improve the lives of residents for years to come.

“We are now looking at making the next panel bigger and even better, encouraging more residents to sign up and be part of making social housing a better place for everyone.”

Applications are open now and will close on 30 April 2024.
