Statement Upheld Other 13-Oct-2025
Summary: We have found that both councils – Westmorland & Furness and Cumberland – caused delays in their handling of Mr X’s linked complaints about children’s social care. Both will now apologise to Mr X and will take action to improve their respective services. Cumberland will also make a symbolic payment which recognises
Mr X’s likely distress. -

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (25 004 726)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Fostering 13-Oct-2025
Summary: We will not investigate X’s complaint about children service’s handling of an allegation against a foster carer.

We are unlikely to find fault in a complaint handling issue and the questions posed to them.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council failing to resolve highway disrepair issues, failing to reply to an email, and failing to respond to the complainant’s Stage 2 complaint. It is reasonable to expect the complainant to use the alternative court remedy which is available, and he has not been caused a significant injustice by the Council’s failure to respond to an email.

There is not enough evidence of fault by the Council to warrant investigation. We would also be unlikely to recommend more than the Council has already offered by refunding an application fee and offering to re-run the process with Mrs X’s husband present at the interview.
