    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 05-Aug-2025

    Summary: We have upheld Mr X’s complaint about a delay in carrying out a Care Act assessment. The Council has agreed to apologise and make a symbolic payment to remedy the frustration caused, which is appropriate so we will not investigate further.

  • Royal Borough of Greenwich (25 003 508)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 05-Aug-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the visitor parking permits he bought or the Council issuing Penalty Charge Notices to his visitor. It would be reasonable for Mr X or his visitor to use their rights to appeal to tribunal or take the substantive matters to court, and there is not enough evidence the Councils actions caused Mr X significant injustice otherwise to warrant our involvement.

  • Bracknell Forest Council (24 002 890)

    Statement Upheld Alternative provision 04-Aug-2025

    Summary: The Council took too long to issue an Education, Health and Care Plan for Mrs X’s daughter following an annual review in February 2024. She also complained her daughter was not provided with a suitable education during the period she was unable to attend school from November 2023. We found no fault. We found there were faults with the Council’s handling of the school phase transfer review, record keeping and failure to consult with Mrs X’s preferred school. The Council agreed to apologise, make a payment to Mrs X and S and review progress on improving its practice.

  • Bracknell Forest Council (24 005 661)

    Statement Upheld Other 04-Aug-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained about the Council’s handling of her daughter, S’s, Education, Health and Care Plan, school attendance and communication with her about it. We found the Council has already taken appropriate action for its poor communication with Mrs X between November 2023 and January 2024. We found no other fault.
