What the results tell us

We continue to score highly for staff being helpful and approachable. However, our casework process assurance figure on the time it takes us to resolve cases declined noticeably. Investigation waiting times increased due to embedding a new operating model and staff training programme.  We expect this to improve in 2018-19 as we see the benefits of these important changes. 

Also, the gradual downward trend in satisfaction among complainants for making sure our service is accessible, is not yet improving. We are looking into why this is and how our ongoing training programme can address this.
