  • London Borough of Brent (24 017 300)

    Statement Upheld Safeguarding 01-Sep-2025

    Summary: Ms Y says the Council failed to act to safeguard Ms X and failed to carry out a needs assessment or provide Ms X with support. The Council accepts it failed to follow the right process when dealing with the safeguarding concerns raised and the request for a care assessment. That meant Ms X missed out on care support and a move to a safer property for more than two years and Ms Y experienced significant distress. An apology, payment to Ms Y and procedural changes are satisfactory remedy.

The Council has agreed to apologise, make a payment to recognise the injustice, and act to prevent recurrence.
