Portsmouth City Council (24 022 482)
Report Upheld Safeguarding 23-Jul-2026
Summary: Mrs Z complained about the poor standard of care her mother, Mrs Y, received in the months before her death. The Council has already accepted that the care commissioned from GP Homecare Ltd (usually known as Radis Community Care or Radis) fell below expected standards and that this placed Mrs Y at risk. While we agree with the Council’s findings, we also consider that the failings caused Mrs Y and Mrs Z significant personal injustice, which the Council has not yet fully remedied.

London Borough of Hackney (26 010 633)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 20-Jul-2026
Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the Council’s response to a concern about a resident.

Also, there is not enough evidence of fault in how the Council responded to a safeguarding report to justify investigating.
