  • City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (24 017 718)

    Statement Upheld School transport 19-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council refused to provide home to school transport for her child, Y, who has special educational needs, and that it failed to follow the appeal process correctly. The Council was at fault. It failed to properly consider Y’s circumstances, to hold a stage one review and to properly record and explain its decision making. This leaves doubt over the decision reached. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X for the frustration and uncertainty caused and rehear Mrs X’s appeal.

  • Bury Metropolitan Borough Council (24 021 598)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s involvement in assessing Ms X’s care needs. There is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council, and the Information Commissioner is best placed to consider complaints about data protection.

  • Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (24 021 644)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Councillor conduct and standards 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision on a code of conduct complaint about a councillor. The complainant has not suffered a significant injustice and there is insufficient evidence of fault in the way the Council reached its decision on the code of conduct complaint.

  • Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (24 021 708)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s actions when completing a safeguarding concern. This is because Mr X’s complaint is late and there is no good reason why it could not have been made to us sooner.

  • Cambridgeshire County Council (24 022 031)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s actions relating to a ‘child in need’ plan for his child. This is mainly because we could not add significantly to the previous investigation carried out by the Council.

  • Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council (24 022 323)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council conducted an anti-social behaviour review. That is because the complaint is late.

  • London Borough of Haringey (24 022 329)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School transport 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with the complainant’s request to repay the costs of a wheelchair damaged on home to school transport. There is insufficient evidence of a significant personal injustice to warrant investigation.

  • Cheshire East Council (24 022 430)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Charging 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about Council’s proposal to move her mother, Mrs Y, to another residential care home placement. It is unlikely we would find enough evidence of fault with the Council’s actions to warrant us investigating further. Other bodies are also better placed to make decisions about whether Mrs Y needs nursing care and what action is in her best interests.

  • Gloucestershire County Council (24 022 556)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Charging 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to charge for homecare it arranged for Miss B’s father in 2022. Miss B is complaining too late and there is no good reason to investigate now.

  • Archbishop Beck Catholic College (25 004 588)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School admissions 18-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about an unsuccessful appeal for a school place. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault by the panel for us to be able to question its decision.
