Housing Ombudsman Service: Further reading
A review by One Housing following an Ombudsman investigation has unearthed over 800 entries of incorrect asbestos risk data.
The Ombudsman made a series of orders to the landlord following a severe maladministration finding. The finding was in respect to an investigation into its record keeping for repairs and the presence of asbestos in a resident's home.
One Housing's review found over 800 records of incorrect data on its asbestos register. The risk scoring system showed several properties as no-risk where it had no data, when in fact there could be asbestos present.
The review found the inconsistencies in its data had been caused by multiple factors, including external services being brought in-house and its knowledge and information management.
