The Scrutiny Partnership is a group of dedicated customers who volunteer their time to help us improve by giving us their opinion of the services we provide.
The group are involved with lots of different projects across Newport City Homes and meet every month to discuss resident satisfaction, resident engagement, and service improvement.
The group works with all sorts of different teams across our association to make sure we understand our customers’ experiences and take feedback on board.
Every year, the Scrutiny Partnership produce a ‘Customers at the Heart’ report for our board, showing how customers have influenced changes and improvements to our services.
But don’t just take it from us! Hear what our current members have to say...
