  • London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (25 015 832)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 14-Jun-2026

    Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the Council naming a school Mrs X’s child that allegedly made discriminatory comments about the child’s special educational needs. Mrs X has used her right of appeal to a Tribunal, and we cannot consider what educational provision the Council should have offered. Where the school’s alleged actions may not directly concern its suitability, they are the actions of a school, and we are legally prevented from investigating them.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 14-Jun-2026

  • Buckinghamshire Council (25 021 531)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 14-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the educational provision made by the Council for Miss X before 2024. This complaint is late and there is no good reason to exercise discretion to investigate it now. The Council operated its complaint process and Mrs Y could have escalated Miss X’s complaint about more recent educational provision, but she did not did not proceed further when the Council took the action she wanted. We would be unlikely to find fault with the Council’s actions in dealing with Miss Y’s complaint if we were to investigate.
