Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 13-Jan-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about information the Council has recorded about her and her children. The Council has already amended its records for Miss X’s family. There is not enough evidence of remaining fault to justify our involvement.

Thurrock Council (25 003 806)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 13-Jan-2026

Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the Council’s involvement in the care of Mrs X’s child. Most of the complaint relates to matters considered in court, which the law prevents us from investigating. Events before May 2024 are late. There is insufficient evidence of fault in more recent events we could consider, and in any event we could not achieve the outcome Mrs X seeks.
