    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 17-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of her application for rehousing. Part of the complaint is late. There is insufficient evidence of fault in its management of her housing register priority banding and it is unlikely an investigation would lead to a different outcome. The Information Commissioner’s Office is better placed to consider her complaints about access to information and rectification of records.

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 17-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council did not provide education and Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan provision for her child, Y, since May 2023. She also complained about delays in the EHC Plan review process. Mrs X said this frustrated and distressed her and Y missed education and plan provision. There was fault in the way the Council delayed issuing a final EHC plan. This frustrated Mrs X’s appeal right to the Tribunal. The Council has agreed to make a financial payment.

  • Sheffield City Council (24 005 325)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 17-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s decision not to trim a tree near a property she owns, and how it communicated with her and dealt with her complaint. There is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s decision-making process to warrant us investigating. There is insufficient significant personal injustice caused to Mrs X by the matters complained of to justify an investigation. We do not investigate councils’ communications and complaint handling where we are not investigating the core issues which gave rise to the complaint.
