Birmingham City Council (23 020 612)
Statement Upheld School transport 28-Aug-2024
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to properly consider her appeal for home to school transport for her child. There was some fault in the way the Council decided Mrs X’s appeal, but this would not have changed the outcome. There was additional fault as the appeal was delayed, the stage two appeal decision letter lacked detail and Mrs X was not given the opportunity to make verbal representations. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X and take action to prevent recurrence of the faults.

Hyndburn Borough Council (24 001 720)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 28-Aug-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council taking recovery action against Ms X over unpaid council tax due from 2014 to the present year. We cannot consider these matters which have been subject to court proceedings. It was reasonable for Ms X to have challenged the liability to the Valuation Tribunal or in the magistrates court when the liability orders were sought. We will not consider the matters from before the last 12 months because it was reasonable for Ms X to complain to us sooner.

Three Rivers District Council (23 019 165)
Statement Upheld Homelessness 28-Aug-2024
Summary: The Council caused Mr X frustration and distress when it incorrectly assessed that he was not eligible for housing support due to his immigration status. In recognition of the injustice caused the Council has agreed to pay Mr X £200 and demonstrate that it has taken action to improve its services. We do not find that the Council’s actions caused Mr X to miss out on interim accommodation or that the Council failed to have due regard to its duties under the Equality Act.

Statement Not upheld Special educational needs 28-Aug-2024
Summary: Ms X complained the Council has not provided support to her child who was out of school and has not agreed a school placement. We cannot investigate Ms X concerns that her child has not got a school placement or whether they received the specialist provision in their Education, Health and Care Plan as Ms X appealed to a Tribunal. We have not found the Council at fault for failing to provide Ms X’s child with education.
