Newcastle upon Tyne City Council (25 028 511)

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council's handling of historic safeguarding and child protection matters. The complaint is late and there is no good reason for us to investigate it now.

Buckinghamshire Council (26 012 588)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 04-Aug-2026

Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the Councils actions relating to a child. This is because the main issues complained about were considered as part of court proceedings and the law does not allow us to investigate those type of complaints.

Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (25 023 801)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 03-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the support provided by the Council to his child who was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. The Council upheld part of the complaint and an investigation by us is unlikely to achieve more. An investigation into Mr X’s complaint that an officer fell asleep during a supervised visit is unlikely to achieve any meaningful outcome.

Bristol City Council (25 024 594)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 03-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s involvement with his child. This is because it would be reasonable for Mr X to seek to reestablish contact with his child through the courts. We also have no jurisdiction to make the Council take disciplinary action against the staff involved.
