Strategy and Forward Work Programme 2025-26

Our Forward Work Programme sets out our key strategic priorities and campaigns for the coming year.

To meet our overall strategic objectives, CCW’s Forward Work Programme contains the deliverables we will focus on achieving in 2025-26. These are over and above our business-as-usual activities – dealing with complaints, challenging companies, generating insights and communicating with customers.

CCW’s day-to-day work helping customers resolve disputes and save money is regularly measured and scrutinised by our Board.

  • All complaints to CCW will be acknowledged and allocated for review to a case advisor within two working days.
  • 80% of cases will be resolved by 20 working days.
  • 95% of cases will be resolved at 40 working days.
