  • London Borough of Islington (24 017 163)

    Statement Upheld Charging 19-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council invoicing the complainant for backdated care charges which the complainant disputed due to him not being informed prior. There was fault by the Council due to an error with sending the complainant invoices. However, the Council remedied any injustice caused to the complainant with an adequate payment and apology. The evidence suggests the complainant was aware of his need to contributed to his care despite having not been involved.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School admissions 19-Mar-2025

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 19-Mar-2025

    Summary: We decided not to investigate Mrs X’s complaint about a three-month delay in the Education, Health and Care needs assessment process of her child, Y. This is because the Council upheld the complaint, apologised to Mrs X, and offered her a £300 symbolic payment in line with the Ombudsman’s guidance. Further investigation by us would therefore not be proportionate.
