  • Birmingham City Council (24 008 700)

    Statement Upheld School transport 03-Feb-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained about the Council’s decision to award his child, Y, a bus pass instead of a council-organised taxi service when he applied for home to school transport support for Y. There was fault with how the Council considered the school transport support application and appeal in Y’s case. This caused injustice to Mr X. To remedy the injustice caused, the Council will apologise and make a symbolic payment to Mr X. It will also carry out a fresh home to school transport appeal.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 03-Feb-2025

    Summary: We cannot investigate X’s complaint about matters relating to the Council’s actions in its child protection involvement with her child. This is because it is about matters we have previously considered and decided; or are not separable from the court proceedings; or about an allegation of crime which she has already reported to the police

It is unlikely we would find fault in the Council’s actions and there is no worthwhile outcome from an Ombudsman investigation.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 03-Feb-2025

This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. This complaint is solely about NHS health related matters, so we have no remit to investigate.
