Customer inspectors



What’s involved?

Tenants and leaseholders can get involved in checking the way YHN provides services.  To become an inspector you will need to attend a training event which will give the skills to carry out an inspection.

Customer inspectors check the way a service is provided. 

  • They look at customer satisfaction and mystery shopping results
  • Get an opportunity to work shadow staff to learn about the service
  • See how services are performing, and compare them with other housing organisations
  • But most importantly identify areas for improvement.

An inspection normally takes about 3 days to complete.

Training

We provide training every year where you will learn what is involved, your role, what support you will receive, how to record information, and give the skills and confidence to carry out an inspection.

How it makes a difference

After an inspection we write a report along with a detailed list of improvements and actions the inspectors would like to see happen.  After the inspection we will write to you to let you know how the service has been improved.
