Statement Upheld Special educational needs 31-Aug-2025
Summary: We found the Council delayed acting on a transfer of Miss X’s son’s Education Health and Care Plan when she moved to its area. The Council did not provide a new school place for around 19 weeks and it did not provide her son with alternative education while he was out of school. This caused difficulties for Miss X and her son lost out on education.

Statement Not upheld Refuse and recycling 31-Aug-2025
Summary: Mr and Mrs X complained the Council-run recycling centre refused entry to Mr X despite him holding a van permit, failed to provide any support or an alternative solution to dispose of their large household items and poorly handled their case. We ended our investigation into this complaint as we are unlikely to find fault causing a significant injustice. Additionally, we could not add to the Council’s investigation or achieve anything further.

London Borough of Hackney (25 000 722)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 31-Aug-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s assessment of a housing application. There is insufficient evidence of fault which would warrant an investigation. We will not exercise discretion to investigate the parts of the complaint which refer to matters more than 12 months before we received the complaint. I have seen no evidence to suggest Miss X could not have complained to us sooner.

Statement Upheld Homelessness 31-Aug-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint the Council took too long to find her permanent accommodation after she became homeless. There is not enough evidence of fault to justify our involvement. However, we have upheld this complaint because the Council did not treat her complaint as a suitability review request. The Council has agreed to resolve the complaint early and provide a proportionate remedy for any injustice caused to Miss X.
