Complaints
ICHC welcomes complaints from its Members and encourages anyone using or directly affected by its services to make complaints. Members do not have to use the word complaint for it to be treated as a complaint.
ICHC also accepts complaints from agencies and other organisations / advocates representing complainants (although this will require written evidence that anyone representing a complainant is authorised by the complainant to act on their behalf). Any representative can attend meetings with the complainant if the complainant wishes them to.
Complaints may be received by
Phone: 020 7263 1176

Through speaking to someone who represents ICHC, or by other means.

If you remain dissatisfied at the end of ICHC’s complaints procedure, you may bring your complaint to the Ombudsman. ICHC will co-operate with the Ombudsman’s requests for evidence and provide this within 3 weeks or 15 working days.
You can access the Housing Ombudsman Service when you wish to and not just when you have exhausted ICHC’s complaints process. The Housing Ombudsman Service can assist members/customers throughout the life of a complaint.
