Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 26-Aug-2025
Summary: Ms B complained about how the Council dealt with her concerns about her care and support plan. The Council addressed each of Ms B’s concerns and liaised with her and the care provider. It also reviewed her care and support plan and made sure it was sufficient to meet her needs. The Council took too long to complete the review however, and it did not handle the referral for advocacy properly. This caused Ms B uncertainty and put her to time and trouble. The Council will apologise to Ms B and make a symbolic payment. The Council will also remind staff of the process for making a referral for advocacy.
