    Statement Upheld Other 20-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s actions during its contact with Mr X concerning his child. The Council has already investigated under the children’s statutory complaint procedures, and further investigation by us would not lead to a different outcome. Nor will we investigate the delays in the Council completing this procedure, because we have upheld this complaint and are satisfied the Council has agreed to resolve this complaint and provide an appropriate remedy for Mr X’s injustice.

  • Mid Sussex District Council (24 005 007)

    Statement Not upheld Homelessness 19-Mar-2025

    Summary: We have found no fault with how the Council handled Miss X’s homelessness application. Its actions were timely and in line with homelessness legislation and guidance.

  • Warwick District Council (24 005 808)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 19-Mar-2025

    Summary: Miss B complained about how the Council handled her homelessness. There was fault because the Council wrongly advised her about its duty to protect her belongings and it placed her family in hotel accommodation without cooking facilities for longer than the law allows. This caused Miss B to accrue rent arrears when she could not move her belongings, and caused her distress and expense when she could not cook for her family. The Council should apologise to Miss B, make a payment to recognise the impact on her of the unsuitable accommodation, and waive some of the rent arrears she accrued.

  • Tendring District Council (24 005 905)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 19-Mar-2025

    Summary: Miss X complained that her family were in Bed and Breakfast accommodation for 10 weeks causing them to spend extra money on food and travelling. Miss X also complains that the accommodation made her children anxious. Based on current evidence I find fault and the Council should remedy the injustice by apologising and making a payment to Miss X.
