Inside Housing assaults survey deadline extended – we want to hear from the sector’s frontline staff
The deadline for frontline staff to respond to Inside Housing’s 2019 assaults survey has been extended.
The survey calls on the sector’s frontline staff to share their experiences and take five minutes to fill out the survey.
Housing associations will also be given an extra week to provide details on the number of assaults their frontline staff have faced in the past two years. This data will be anonymised in the piece.
In 2017, 239 people responded to the survey, with nearly two-thirds saying they had been verbally abused in 2016/17 and only 1% said that they felt safer in their jobs than they did a year ago.

As part of the survey, Inside Housing will also be asking housing associations for anonymised figures on the number of frontline staff that have been verbally abused or physically assaulted in 2017/18 and 2018/19. We have also used the Freedom of Information Act to ask local authorities for the same figures.
Housing professionals and housing associations have until 13 June to complete the survey and hand in their information, with the results to be published in Inside Housing later this month.
