  • Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (24 018 812)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Residential care 06-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about residential care commissioned by the Council and provided to her late mother Mrs Y. There would be no worthwhile outcome investigation of the complaint would achieve for Mrs Y. An investigation by us would not add to the care firm’s investigation nor achieve a different outcome.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 06-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the education of Ms X’s children. This is because the law prevents us from investigating most things that happen in schools and because it is reasonable for Ms X to use her right of appeal to a tribunal.

  • Reading Borough Council (24 019 038)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 06-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s response to the complainant’s damaged allotment.
