  • London Borough of Barnet (18 008 118)

    Statement Upheld Other 15-Mar-2019

    Summary: The complaint concerns accommodation the Council provided for Ms B and her family. We found fault with the Council's consideration of the accommodation's distance from Barnet and with the Council's handling of some problems at the accommodation. The faults caused uncertainty and a sense of missed opportunity and some inconvenient living conditions. The Council agreed our recommendations to put matters right, including apologising, paying Ms B £644 and reviewing what happened. We did not uphold other parts of the complaint.

  • London Borough of Havering (18 012 560)

    Statement Not upheld Other 12-Mar-2019

She says the decision was unfair as it was based on a flawed social work assessment. The Ombudsman finds that the assessment was carried out properly. Without evidence of fault he cannot question the Council's decision.
