  • Liverpool City Council (25 003 237)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 14-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a carer’s assessment completed by the Council and the support it then offered. There is not enough evidence of fault to justify an investigation.

  • London Borough of Southwark (25 003 481)

    Statement Upheld Allocations 14-Nov-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to process her housing change of circumstances request and complete her medical review in good time, which affected her wellbeing. The Council was at fault. The Council delayed processing the application and did not comply with its published allocations scheme. The Council has agreed to take steps to remedy her injustice.

  • Fareham Borough Council (25 004 096)

    Statement Not upheld Allocations 14-Nov-2025

    Summary: We have discontinued our investigation into Miss X’s complaint about the suitability of her property. This is because her landlord is a housing association and her request for adjustments to be made to the property falls outside our jurisdiction. There is also not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s original decision to nominate her for the property. Miss X can contact the Council if she wants information about applying for more suitable housing.

  • Manchester City Council (25 004 388)

    Statement Upheld School transport 14-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision-making relating to school transport. The Council has accepted it made an error in considering the application and has proposed a resolution. It said it will do this by arranging transport and re-imbursing travel costs for the period transport should have been in place. It has also apologised.

  • London Borough of Lambeth (25 004 926)

    Statement Upheld Fostering 14-Nov-2025

    Summary: The Council was not at fault for refusing to pay Ms X its full fostering rate (including additional fees) from the date she became a kinship foster carer. This decision was in line with its policy – which says only fully approved foster carers get the full rate – and was not obviously out of step with case law and government guidance. The Council was, however, at fault for a significant delay in approving
    Ms X as a foster carer. Given its policy, this meant she missed out on getting the full rate of fostering payments for several months. The Council has agreed to backdate her additional payments to the date she would have been approved were it not for the delay.

  • Lincolnshire County Council (25 008 781)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s involvement with his child. The law prevents us from investigating anything that has or is the subject of court proceedings. It would be reasonable for Mr X to raise the concerns he has about reports the Council has written in court.

  • Warwickshire County Council (25 008 846)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate the Council’s response to Miss X’s complaint about her relative being subjected to coercive behaviour. This is because, while the Council did not tell Miss X it would be visiting her relative, any fault has not caused injustice.

  • Dorset Council (25 008 920)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about the Council’s housing application decision and its handling of her case. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to warrant an investigation.

  • London Borough of Hillingdon (25 008 940)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the way the Council considered a planning application. There is not enough evidence of fault to justify investigation.

  • Essex County Council (25 008 976)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Education, Health and Care plan process. This is because the Council has agreed to an appropriate remedy for the injustice caused by the delay.
