London Borough of Harrow (24 011 365)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 04-Dec-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Miss X’s complaints. We cannot investigate complaint handling in isolation where the substantive matters of the complaint are ones we could not investigate. The substantive matters are ones that either directly formed part of court action, or could reasonably have been raised in court proceedings. We also could not investigate earlier matters from 2020 robustly even if they were unconnected to the court action.
