Service commitment


The way we communicate with you is a really important part of delivering services to customers.

Our Service Commitment sets out a series of standards that staff are expected to follow. It explains what you can expect when you contact us:

  • how we will answer your phone calls, emails and letters;
  • and the information you can expect from us

Service Commitment

It is also available in other formats (on audio tape, in Braille, in large print, and in other languages) - please call us on 020 8150 4112 to request a copy.

Mystery shopping - how are you being served?

We have adopted a new approach to monitoring our customer service and communications. This is mystery shopping, where an external agency makes calls to randomly chosen staff to see if staff are meeting our service standard. The mystery shoppers report back on how quickly calls are answered, how polite staff are and whether we deal satisfactorily with queries.
