  • Manchester City Council (25 001 899)

    Statement Upheld Other 09-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to involve him properly when it delivered support to his child. Mr X also complained about how the Council handled his complaint. We found the Council was at fault. Mr X has not had the opportunity to have his complaint properly considered via the children’s statutory complaints procedure. This caused undue delay and frustration for Mr X. The Council will start stage two of the children’s statutory complaints procedure without delay. It will also apologise to Mr X and make a symbolic payment to him.
