Statement Closed after initial enquiries Disabled facilities grants 28-Sep-2025

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 28-Sep-2025

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 28-Sep-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision not to amend an Education Health and Care plan to include specific provision requested by the complainant.

-
Southend-on-Sea City Council (25 005 464)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 28-Sep-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about adult social care referrals without the complainant’s knowledge. Although this was upsetting for the complainant, the Council believed it was in the best interest. It has acknowledged it would have been better to tell the complainant about this referral and has apologised for communication errors and spoken with the staff member. It is unlikely an Ombudsman investigation would achieve anything further, and the injustice does not justify our involvement.
-
Salford City Council (25 005 722)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 28-Sep-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s roadworks damaging his property, and noise and vehicle access issues. His complaint is a claim of private property damage only an insurer or a court can determine. It is not unreasonable for Mr X to pursue this route to get the outcome he seeks, an outcome we cannot achieve. The noise and access issues are premature as they were not part of Mr X’s Council complaint. It would not have been unreasonable for him to complain about them to the Council first, and any future complaint to us about the same issues would be late.
