What is the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) survey?

The TSM survey was introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). It aims to collect feedback from tenants and shared owners about the services and performance of their housing provider. This information helps ensure housing providers are delivering quality services and making improvements where necessary.

Why is this survey important?

The survey is designed to give tenants and shared owners, like you, a voice in shaping the services you receive from Jigsaw. Your feedback will help identify what’s working well and highlight areas for improvement. The RSH will also use the data to assess and compare housing providers’ performance.

Who is conducting the survey?

This year Jigsaw have appointed Kwest Research to undertake the surveys between November 2024 and February 2025. All responses will be collected and processed in compliance with data protection laws.

Will my responses be anonymous?

For the purposes of survey all results will be aggregated, meaning no individual tenant will be identifiable in the final report or through the published TSM’s. Jigsaw may however contact you to gain further insight if during the survey you indicate a certain level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. This will assist Jigsaw to better understand the reasons for this.

How will I receive the survey?

If you are randomly selected to take part in the survey you will receive an invitation from Kwest Research, either by email or telephone. Accessing the survey by email can be done by clicking the link within the email you receive inviting you to take part in the survey.

What types of questions will the survey include?

The survey will cover topics such as:

  • Your overall satisfaction with Jigsaw’s services.
  • The quality of your home.
  • How well repairs and maintenance are handled.
  • Communication and engagement with tenants and shared owners.
  • Neighbourhood safety and cleanliness.
How long will the survey take to complete?

The survey is designed to be quick and straightforward, taking less than 10 minutes to complete.

Is participation mandatory?

Participation is voluntary, but Jigsaw strongly encourage you to share your thoughts. Your feedback is vital in helping Jigsaw improve its services and ensuring your priorities are addressed.

Will my feedback affect my tenancy?

Absolutely not. Your feedback will not impact your tenancy or the services you currently receive from Jigsaw. The survey is solely to gather insights and improve services.

What happens after I complete the survey?

Once the survey is completed, responses will be analysed, and a summary of the overall findings will be published on Jigsaw’s website and reported to the RSH in late spring 2025.

When will the survey take place?

Jigsaw tenants and shared owners will start to receive the surveys from 22nd November 2024.

Invitations to take part in the survey are likely to continue until February 2025.
