Derby City Council (24 007 961)
Statement Not upheld Child protection 05-Jul-2026
Summary: There was no fault in how the Council dealt with allegations about Mr X while he was employed as a teacher. Its LADO provided appropriate oversight of the case. Much of the injustice he believes he suffered arose from the actions of his then-employer, a school, which is outside our jurisdiction. He has now taken the school to the Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal, which is a more suitable avenue to pursue his complaint.

It incorrectly handled Mr X’s homelessness, there were review delays by the Council, and its communication was poor. As a result, Mr X suffered distress and frustration, and he missed the opportunity to be relieved of his homelessness sooner.
