  • London Borough of Southwark (24 019 060)

    Statement Upheld Allocations 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of her housing register application. Ms X had the right to ask for a review of its decision in November 2023 and it was reasonable for her to exercise that right. There is insufficient evidence of fault in the Council’s decision-making in January 2025 to justify further investigation and it has already made an appropriate offer to remedy any injustice caused by the delay in making that decision.

  • London Borough of Lambeth (24 019 390)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not exercise discretion to investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision that the complainant was non-priority homeless in 2023. This complaint which was received outside the normal 12-month period for investigating complaints. There is no evidence to suggest that Miss X could not have complained to us sooner.

  • DES Healthcare Limited (24 019 577)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Residential care 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a care provider’s decision not to offer a placement to a person. The provider has already given Mr X a response to his concerns, and it is unlikely further investigation by us would lead to a different outcome.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 30-Apr-2025

  • Dorset Council (24 021 626)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about alleged misconduct by the Council with respect to historical claims to ownership of the complainant’s land. This is because the issues concern matters and events which occurred between 1960 and 2000. It is not the role of the Ombudsman to investigate historical matters. The complaint is late and there are no good reasons why we should exercise our discretion in this respect. In any event, the complainant could reasonably take court action over the issues raised.
