How we will do it

We will:

  • review all our services to make sure that they’re accessible to everyone
  • use publicly available data to understand the make-up of Birmingham to shape our services
  • listen to your feedback to continually improve our services
  • produce an annual customer service communications plan

What this means for you

You will:

  • know the standards you can expect from us, and we can expect from you
  • see that we are focused on your needs
  • get a quick response to complaints you make
  • be encouraged to give us your feedback
