  • Worcestershire County Council (25 021 997)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 15-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of an Education, Health and Care Plan. Part of the complaint is late and there is no good reason for us to consider it now. We cannot investigate part of the complaint because the complainant has used her right to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) and the Courts have decided that the Ombudsman cannot intervene where the right to appeal has been used. We cannot investigate part of the complaint because it is about matters that occurred in a school and the law prevents us from investigating. We will not investigate the rest of this complaint as we could not add to the Council’s previous investigation.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 15-Jun-2026

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 15-Jun-2026

  • London Borough of Southwark (25 022 365)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Domiciliary care 15-Jun-2026
