London Borough of Barnet (24 010 743)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Mar-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the actions of a Council officer and the decision to issue an Improvement Notice. We will not consider the complaint about the issuing of the Improvement Notice as we have previously considered this. We cannot require the Council to discipline the officer so we cannot achieve the outcome the complainant is seeking. We cannot decide whether the Council is liable to pay the complainant compensation or damages. Finally, it is not a good use of public funds to investigate concerns about the complaint process when we are not investigating the substantive issues.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 30-Mar-2025
Summary: Ms B complained the Council recorded inaccurate information about her late brother, Mr C, when he was assessed under the Mental Health Act.

Ms B said this caused her and Mr C’s family great distress and meant Mr C did not get the care and treatment he needed. We will not investigate Ms B’s complaint about the Council because it is unlikely we could add to the response she has already received from the Council.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council decided a licensing application for the sale of alcohol. This is because the complainant objected to the application having made relevant representations during this process, and therefore has a right of appeal to the magistrates’ court. We consider the complainant could reasonably exercise that appeal right if he disagrees with the Council’s decision. We therefore have no jurisdiction to investigate.
