  • Devon County Council (24 021 709)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 01-Jun-2025

  • Gloucestershire County Council (24 021 828)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 01-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s actions relating to an Education, Health, and Care Plan for his child. Parts of the complaint are late and there are no good reasons why it could not have been made sooner. Of the parts that are not late, we are satisfied the Council has taken action to prevent a reoccurrence of the fault and offered a suitable remedy for Mr X’s injustice.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 01-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to attend a mediation meeting, and its subsequent refusal to reimburse the complainant for costs she incurred as a result. Investigation would not lead to a different outcome and is not therefore warranted.

  • Transport for London (24 022 720)

  • Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (24 022 801)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 01-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s children’s services involvement when he was a child. This is because, given the passage of time, we do not consider there is a realistic prospect of reaching a sound, fair and meaningful decision. We also could not achieve the outcome Mr X is seeking.

  • Kent County Council (24 022 885)

    Statement Upheld Other 01-Jun-2025
