How we’re doing

We aim to provide service excellence, and use performance measures and feedback to make sure we deliver this. The information on this page shows the different ways we keep track of our performance, how we listen to feedback, and how we focus our improvement efforts.

If you have any questions, concerns or ideas for improvement, visit our Contact page to find out how to get in touch. If you want to make a complaint, visit our Complaints page.

Performance Reporting

Our Board set key performance indicators each year and review performance on a quarterly basis at their Board meetings. We share these results on our website, giving tenants and stakeholders the opportunity to scrutinise how we perform. We also include them in our quarterly tenants’ newsletter.

2025/26 performance highlights:

  • Emergency repairs responded to within 24 hours – 100%
  • Stage 1 and 2 complaints responded to within Complaint Handling Code timescales – 100%
  • Homes with EPC C or better – 78/6%

Tenant Satisfaction Survey

Every 2 years we run our tenant satisfaction survey, to get your feedback on what we’re doing well, where we can improve and what are priorities should be.

Our 2025-2026 survey found that 83% of our tenants are satisfied with Shal’s service – this is above the national average for smaller housing associations, and something we are really proud of.

Complaints

We always try to provide the best service possible. When we don’t meet this standard, we want to hear your feedback so we can continue to learn and improve.

The Housing Ombudsman Complaint Handling Code sets out the rules Housing Associations have to follow when dealing with complaints. Complaints can be either Stage 1 or Stage 2.

We complete a self-assessment of our complaints process every year, and our Board reviews our complaints every year.
