The Department should work with providers to ensure that they develop <br>appropriate mechanisms to capture feedback from service users about their <br>experiences living in asylum accommodation – for example customer satisfaction <br>surveys or focus groups.<br><br>Customer satisfaction surveys and focus groups do not currently form part of <br>the COMPASS contract. However, the Department recognises the benefits of <br>having an independent measure of customer satisfaction and is committed to <br>implementing this for COMPASS Services.
