    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 10-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a parking penalty charge notice as the complaint is made late and there are not good reasons to investigate now. The Council's escalation of the matter to its enforcement agents could have been challenged in court.

  • Birmingham City Council (24 004 853)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 10-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about adult social care and risks to a vulnerable adult. The adult has died so we can provide him no remedy. The way the Council treated the family does not justify an investigation when there is no worthwhile outcome to achieve.

  • Cambridgeshire County Council (24 004 373)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 09-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained that the Council did not provide suitable education for her child when they were out of school and delayed carrying out a review of her child’s Education, Health and Care Plan. As a result her child missed out on education and has fallen behind their peers. We have found the Council at fault as there was a period where it should have put in place education for Mrs X’s child. The Council also delayed carrying out an annual review. The Council agreed to apologise and make payments for the loss of education and distress caused.
