The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X.

Surrey County Council (24 016 511)
Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 05-Aug-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to meet his eligible care needs for three months and it failed to attend borough council meetings about his housing. We found there was a lack of care provision which was Service Failure by the Council. We also found there was a failure to attend housing meetings after agreeing to do so. This was a lack of partnership working. The fault by the Council led to distress to Mr X. The Council agreed to apologise, make a distress payment and work on an action plan to avoid the same issues happening again.

North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council (24 013 096)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 05-Aug-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to arrange suitable alternative provision for her child, W, when they stopped attending school. The Council was at fault. This caused Mrs X avoidable frustration, upset and uncertainty but we cannot say, even on balance, that it meant W missed out on education they should have had. To remedy Mrs X’s injustice, the Council will apologise and pay her £500. It will also issue a staff reminder to prevent the fault happening again.

London Borough of Tower Hamlets (24 015 224)
Statement Upheld Homelessness 05-Aug-2025
Summary: The Council was at fault for failing to address damp and mould in Miss X’s temporary accommodation and delay providing alternative accommodation once a review found it was unsuitable. This left Miss X and her baby at risk of harm from damp and mould, which is an injustice. The Council has agreed to apologise, make payments, and act to improve its services.
