    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Charging 11-Aug-2025

  • Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council (25 002 200)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 11-Aug-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this late complaint about Mrs Y’s care. There is not a good reason for the delay in the complaint being escalated to the Ombudsman. Parts of the complaint are about NHS responsibilities and are for the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman.

  • London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (23 005 121)

    Statement Upheld Allocations 11-Aug-2025

    Summary: There was fault by the Council when it failed to ensure Mr X’s flat was suitable before he moved there, to explain to him how it would deal with his reports of antisocial behaviour and noise nuisance, to consider properly his homeless application or his requests for interim accommodation, and when it took too long to arrange an occupational therapist’s assessment. The Council also did not handle Mr X’s complaints to it properly or have proper regard for his reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act. This caused Mr X distress, inconvenience, and frustration. The Council should make a symbolic payment to Mr X and take specific steps to improve its services.
