Statement Upheld Building control 05-Jul-2026
Summary: Mr X complained the Council’s Building Control wrongly refuses to register valid building regulation notifications which are not submitted directly through a Competent Person Scheme. We found fault by the Council. This is because it has refused to store notifications in line with the Building Regulations 2010 and based its decision on scheme specific membership rules which was not for it to enforce. The Council agreed to apologise to Mr X and take action to enable his, and other installers, valid notifications to be stored in line with the Regulations.

Worcestershire County Council (25 014 283)
Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 05-Jul-2026
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council took almost two years to complete a re-assessment of her care needs. And that following the assessment her care hours have been wrongly reduced. Mrs X also complains the Council has asked her to return a backdated payment it made to address a shortfall in her personal budget. We found the delays in completing Mrs X’s assessment and in reviewing her personal budget and direct payments are fault. These faults have caused Mrs X avoidable distress, frustration and uncertainty. The Council will apologise and make a symbolic payment to Mrs X and will not seek to recover the backdated payment. It will also take action to improve its service.

West Northamptonshire Council (25 015 876)
Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 05-Jul-2026
Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to ensure he had the required level of support in place when his Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan ended in July 2025. We found the Council failed to carry out a timely review despite advance notice the EHC Plan was ending, failed to complete an annual review in 2024, communicated poorly throughout the process, and incorrectly refused to escalate his complaint while the matter remained unresolved. These faults caused Mr X significant injustice through missed support, distress, uncertainty, avoidable reliance on family members, and time and trouble pursuing the Council for updates and resolution. The Council has agreed to apologise, and make a payment to Mr X.
