answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2022 answer text <p>The Home Office introduced the Advice Issue Reporting and Eligibility (AIRE) service in September 2019, as operated by Migrant Help, to provide an independent resource for asylum seekers to request help, report issues and property defects, provide feedback or make complaints.</p><p> </p><p>Asylum seekers are able to contact Migrant Help 24/7 by telephone, webchat or email, and there are strict service level agreements in place to resolving contacts, dependent on issue type. Accommodation providers are contractually obligated to respond to complaints within 5 working days of receipt. In the rare event that this timeframe is not honoured, or where an asylum seeker is dissatisfied with the response received, the complaint is escalated to the authority for comprehensive review and response. Where a complaint is upheld, the information is shared with the department’s Service Delivery Managers for discussion at contract management meetings with the providers to influence continuous improvement to the service. The complaints data is regularly monitored and analysed to identify trends in issues and feedback which can further enhance these conversations and maintain standards.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 23/09/2022 14:34:08 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2022 answer text <p>Service Family Accommodation (SFA) complaints are reported centrally under one area of the Department because SFA is managed under one maintenance contract.</p><p>Responsibility for Single Living Accommodation (SLA) is split between individual Top Level Budget Holders; Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force, UK Strategic Command and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation.</p><p>Complaints which relate to SLA will be reported and resolved through a number of routes, depending on their nature. They are not reported centrally but directly to individual units on each defence site, the managing Top Level Budget Holder, or to the relevant regional maintenance contractor. As a result, this locally held data could only be collated manually, which would incur disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Elmet and Rothwell answering member printed Alec Shelbrooke grouped question UIN 51439 question first answered 23/09/2022 13:35:39 answering member 3997 label Biography information for Alec Shelbrooke
