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 found fault in the way the Council carried out its duties in relation to the complaints about the Council’s children services. This fault did not cause injustice to the individual complainants. The Council agreed to review its documents to ensure compliance with the legislation, review current complaints about the children’s services and train its staff dealing with complaints.

    Service improvements

    The Council will review all the Council’s documents which refer to the children’s statutory complaint procedure and ensure they include a list of individuals,other than children and young people or anybody acting on their behalf, who have the right to have their concerns considered through the children’s statutory complaint procedure.The Council will review all current complaints about the children’s services which are being considered as corporate complaints and decide whether they should be investigated as children’s statutory complaints.The Council will provide training to the staff dealing with children services complaints with a particular focus on the criteria for deciding whether a particular complaint should be considered under the children’s statutory complaint process.For six months following this decision the Council will record its reasons for considering each complaint about the Council’s children services under either children’s statutory procedure or corporate complaint process. The Council will provide us with the evidence it has done this.
