Kent County Council (24 008 301)
Statement Upheld Safeguarding 24-Jun-2025
Summary: Ms C complains the Council took unfounded safeguarding action against her and reached a biased decision. Ms C also complains the Council failed to consider all her complaints.

To remedy the complaint the Council has agreed to apologise to Ms C and make service improvements.
