  • Suffolk County Council (24 021 614)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 21-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s response to safeguarding referrals raised about her and about its decision to take her son’s case to the Court of Protection.

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

  • London Borough of Ealing (24 020 217)

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

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to refuse the complainant’s application and appeal for school transport for her son. There is insufficient evidence of fault on the Council’s part to warrant investigation.

  • Liverpool City Council (24 005 716)

    Statement Upheld Looked after children 16-Apr-2025

    Summary: Miss Y complains about her experiences as a care leaver, particularly around the standard of accommodation provided to her and the Council’s failure to properly consider an allegation she made against a staff member at her placement. Miss Y complained to the Council, but the investigation was not robust and did not offer an appropriate personal remedy. We find fault causing injustice which the Council has agreed to acknowledge with a payment of £3750.

  • Brighton & Hove City Council (24 006 224)

    Statement Not upheld Charging 16-Apr-2025

    Summary: Miss X complained about the financial assessment the Council completed.

There was no fault in the Council’s decision-making.

  • Thurrock Council (24 006 343)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 16-Apr-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council had failed to provide education and support for her son (Y) when he could not attend school. We found fault with the Council. This fault caused injustice to Y as he missed out on the support he needed and to Mrs X. The Council agreed to apologise, make payments to recognise Y’s loss of education and Mrs X’s distress and carry out service improvements.
