Milton Keynes Council (24 001 991)
Statement Upheld Fostering 22-Jul-2025
Summary: We found no fault on most of Ms Y’s complaints against the Council about when it removed two sets of foster children from her care. The investigation of the allegations against her was done in line with procedures, there was no fault with the decisions to remove the children, and it was entitled to hold an early household review of her fostering status which was done without fault. It accepted it failed to send her confirmation of a variation to her terms of approval as a carer and failed to ensure she received all the supervision she should have done. These failures were fault and caused her an injustice. The Council previously agreed to pay her £250. It also agreed to review why the failures happened and ensure procedures are in place and followed in the future.

Suffolk County Council (24 003 278)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 22-Jul-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council failed to intervene and ensure her son received the education and provision in his Education, Health and Care Plan when the school he was attending reduced his education to 90 minutes per week. She also complained the Council failed to complete an annual review of her son’s Education, Health and Care Plan in line with statutory timescales. We find the Council was at fault for failing to ensure Ms X’s son received the education and provision in his Education, Health and Care Plan. It was also at fault for its delay during the annual review and for not ensuring Ms X’s son could start his new school as soon as issued his final Education, Health and Care Plan. These faults caused Ms X upset and frustration. It also meant Ms X’s son missed out on education and provision. The Council has agreed to our recommendations to apologise to Ms X and make a payment for the injustice caused by fault.

Statement Upheld Special educational needs 22-Jul-2025
Summary: The Council was at fault in how it reviewed and amended Mrs X’s child W’s Education, Health and Care Plan. It was also at fault for delay securing the provision in that Plan and for poor complaints handling. This caused Mrs X frustration and meant she had to go to undue time and trouble pursuing her complaint. It also meant W missed out on provision they should have had. To remedy their injustice, the Council will apologise to Mrs X, pay her £1100 and confirm the name of the member of staff who will act as her single point of contact in future.

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of his homelessness application. The Council has apologised and offered to pay him £100 for its delay in making a payment to his landlord and this is sufficient to remedy any injustice caused. There is insufficient evidence of fault in the way the Council considered whether to revoke his landlord’s licence to justify our involvement.
