Statement Closed after initial enquiries Leisure and culture 10-Aug-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about how staff at a leisure facility dealt with her concerns. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault by the Council and there is insufficient personal injustice to Ms X to warrant our involvement. Additionally, we cannot achieve Ms X’s desired outcome.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 10-Aug-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Education, Health and Care Plan process for her child.

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (24 015 284)
Statement Not upheld Special educational needs 07-Aug-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council failed to provide her child with education after a mental health crisis. I find no fault. While Ms X’s child has not been able to access much in the way of education, this is not because of fault by the Council. The Council has offered a full range of educational provision in and out of school, but Ms X’s child has not been able to benefit from it.

Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (24 015 380)
Statement Upheld Refuse and recycling 07-Aug-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council repeatedly missed her daughter Ms Y’s household waste collections and failed to resolve the issues despite repeated reports. The Council delivered a poor service, failed to resolve reported issues, and issued a poor response to Ms X’s complaint about this. This caused avoidable distress to Ms Y because of a loss of service, and avoidable distress, time, and trouble to Ms X in complaining on her behalf. The Council agreed to apologise, pay a financial remedy to Ms Y and Ms X, and monitor Ms Y’s bin collections to resolve any issues. It will also issue staff reminders, review how it keeps records of missed bin reports, and ensure proper oversight of the review that its third-party waste contractor is carrying out about failings in the service.
