  • the current complaints and redress landscape, how it is working and if more can be done to improve it
  • what standards and services should be expected of a redress scheme/an ombudsman

  • whether a single ombudsman service is needed to simplify access to redress across housing, and if so, what form that should take and what its remit should be
