Find out more about service improvements

When we find fault, we can recommend improvements to systems and processes where they haven’t worked properly, so that others do not suffer from these same problems in future. Common examples are policy changes; procedural reviews; and staff training. Service improvements from decisions are published for 5 years and those from reports are published for 10 years.

    Summary

    We upheld Mrs D’s complaint about a failure to provide Mr E with care and support through his direct payment between July and November 2020. There was also fault in the Council’s complaint handling. The fault caused Mrs D avoidable time and trouble and a financial loss to another family member who transported Mr E to his day centre. The Council will apologise, make Mrs D a symbolic payment and refund the family member their costs.

    Service improvements

    The Council has agreed to complete refresher training for front line staff on how to deal with a complaint made directly to staff rather than to the complaints team.
