London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (24 017 492)
Statement Upheld Licensing 29-Jun-2025
Summary: The Council was at fault because of a lengthy delay in making a decision the complainant had applied for the wrong type of landlord licence, and then threatening him with a significant fine for not holding the correct licence, without considering the fact the complainant had followed the Council’s own advice in making his application in the first place. The Council had already offered an appropriate remedy, but it has now also agreed to formally apologise to the complainant for this.

Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 29-Jun-2025
Summary: We found that North Middlesex Hospital NHS Trust failed to consistently provide adequate overnight support to a patient with a learning disability. We also found that the London Borough of Barnet failed to review the patient’s needs in hospital when other professionals noted they had changed. And we found there were avoidable delays in the discharge process, caused by both organisations. These faults caused avoidable distress and uncertainty. We asked the organisations to apologise and provide small financial payments to address this injustice.

London Borough of Croydon (23 015 996)
Report Upheld Homelessness 27-Jun-2025
Summary: Ms X complained about how the Council responded to her brother Mr Y’s homelessness applications in 2023. We found several faults. There were months of delays by the Council and basic administrative errors. The Council repeatedly failed to respond correctly to Mr Y’s attempts to access support from its housing service. This meant that instead of being housed by the Council, Mr Y had to live with another of his sisters, Ms Z, despite her being seriously unwell and despite the impact of his mental health needs on their wellbeing. The faults caused Mr Y, Ms X and Ms Z significant stress and upset.
