Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 21-Sep-2026

It is unlikely we would find fault in the Council’s decision, not to investigate. Nor will we investigate a complaint about those matters either, because it is a late complaint and there are no good reasons to exercise discretion to investigate it.
