Lets Recap!
Scrutiny
Our Scrutiny Team has been actively meeting and has selected Complaints as the focus of their latest investigation. They’re now on step 6 of the scrutiny journey, requesting evidence to better understand how our complaints process works in practice.
We’re eager to follow the progress of their review and are excited to hear their recommendations. The insights they uncover will help strengthen our approach and ensure we continue delivering high-quality service to our customers.
Tuning in with Dementia-Friendly Radio
We’re delighted to share some wonderful news about a dementia-friendly radio station! This station offers listening experiences designed to bring comfort, joy, and connection to those living with dementia.
You’ll find programmes featuring familiar music, gentle storytelling, and calming voices – all thoughtfully selected by the creators to provide a truly soothing environment. We believe this accessible option can offer real benefit, and it aligns with our ongoing commitment to helping our community access inclusive and engaging services.
