Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 05-Dec-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how to meet adult social care needs. There is not enough evidence of fault in the process the Council followed to decide Ms C’s capacity to decide about her care and to assess how best to meet her needs. The Ombudsman could not achieve the outcome the complainant wants, which is to say Ms C needs 24-hour care. The Court of Protection would be best placed to decide a dispute about capacity and an appropriate care plan.

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council (23 010 023)
Statement Upheld Homelessness 05-Dec-2024
Summary: Mr X complained about how the Council has handled his homelessness application; the Council officer’s conduct; disrepair issues at his temporary accommodation; and delay in providing an occupational therapy assessment. We find the Council was at fault for delay in dealing with his review request; delay in providing an occupational therapy assessment and failing to consider his reports around disrepair issues. This caused him significant distress. We make several recommendations to address this injustice caused by fault.

Statement Not upheld Noise 04-Dec-2024
Summary: We found no fault on Mr S’s complaint against the Council about it failing to take enforcement action against a local gym for causing noise and light nuisance along with breaching planning conditions.

The planning team considered and acted on his reports about planning consent breaches.
