Summary: We do not uphold G’s complaint about City of York Council and NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board’s decision to reduce their section 117 aftercare in December 2023. However, the Council and ICB should have reviewed G’s aftercare need before they left hospital in March 2024. That caused them distress, and the organisations should jointly apologise for that.

Statement Upheld Looked after children 26-Jun-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council’s consideration of a complaint she raised through the children’s statutory complaint procedure about how the Council cared for a child, Y, was flawed. We found the Council was at fault when it overturned some of the statutory investigation’s findings, and did not provide an appropriate remedy to Y for the complaints it did uphold. This included that Y became isolated and institutionalised while they remained in an unregistered placement for more than four years. The Council will apologise and make a payment to Y.

Statement Upheld Homelessness 26-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss X complained about the Council’s delays when she approached it for homelessness assistance. We find the Council was at fault for its delays in awarding Miss X the relevant homelessness duties, for its poor communication and for its delay in providing Miss X with interim accommodation. These faults caused Miss X distress, frustration and upset and she was deprived of suitable accommodation. The Council upheld some of Miss X’s complaints, apologised and offered her £300. The Council has agreed to our further recommendations to apologise to Miss X for the injustice caused by the delay in offering her interim accommodation, make a further payment to her and implement a service improvement.

The Ombudsman finds the Council at fault, which caused Mr X and Miss Y avoidable and unnecessary distress and financial strain. The Council has agreed to waive the outstanding invoice.

North Somerset Council (24 008 105)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 25-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss E complained the Council failed to secure alternative education provision, after her child could not attend school from January 2024 onward. We upheld the complaint finding the Council did not properly consider her child’s need for alternative provision before November 2024, when it provided an Education, Health and Care Plan. We considered that if it had done so, it would have made such provision. The Council has accepted these findings. At the end of this statement, we set out the action it has agreed to remedy the injustice caused to Miss E as a result and to improve its service.
