We’re currently reviewing our Unreasonable Customer Behaviour Policy, and this draft version is now out for customer consultation. 

Your feedback will help us shape the final policy before it is agreed and put in place. 

This policy explains how we respond to the small number of customers who display unreasonable behaviour. It supports a fair and consistent approach, helps protect our colleagues’ time, and ensures we can continue providing services to all customers effectively. 

Because this policy affects how we manage contact and interactions, it’s important that it’s clear, fair and easy to understand – and that it reflects the needs of our customers and communities. 

Why We're Asking for Your Feedback 

This is a draft policy, and we want your input before anything is finalised. 

While we aim to maintain positive relationships with our customers, there are occasions where behaviour can become unreasonable. This can affect our ability to support others and may require us to manage contact in a different way. 

The policy sets out: 

  • What we consider to be unreasonable behaviour 

  • How we may respond when this behaviour occurs 

  • How we ensure responses are fair, proportionate and consistent 

  • How we continue to support customers, while protecting colleagues and services 

The policy applies to anyone who has contact with us, including tenants, applicants, leaseholders, representatives and members of the public. 

It also covers all types of communication, including: 

  • Phone calls 

  • Face-to-face interactions 

  • Emails and letters 

  • Digital and social media 

We want to make sure this policy is clear, fair and easy to understand. By taking part in the consultation, you’ll help us: 

  • Check that the policy is easy to understand 

  • Ensure examples and expectations are clearly explained 

  • Understand whether our approach feels fair and proportionate 

  • Improve how we communicate decisions and actions 

  • Make sure customers feel respected and listened to 

  • Reflect the needs and experiences of our communities 

Your feedback will directly shape the final version of the policy.
