Statement Not upheld Other 18-Jan-2022
Summary: Ms X complained the Council’s children’s services harassed her around the time of her child’s birth and forced her to attend a meeting she was not well enough to attend. She says this caused her significant distress. She also said there were inaccuracies in a professional report. I have ended our investigation into this complaint.

The Council has agreed to re-make its offer of a stage 3 panel to Ms X.
