  • Coventry City Council (24 004 090)

    Statement Upheld Other 21-Feb-2025

    Summary: Ms X complained about failings by the Council’s Adult Social Care service to support both her and her adult son, Mr Y. We found the Council at fault for failing to follow-up on respite care, and for failing to properly consider what support it could offer when Mr Y’s behaviour escalated. The Council agreed to provide a symbolic financial remedy for the distress this caused. The Council was also at fault over the advice it gave on emergency accommodation, but this did not cause significant injustice.

  • London Borough of Ealing (24 013 476)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 20-Feb-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the actions of a former employee of a Council-commissioned service. Complaints about their actions while employed by the Service are late and there is not a good reason for Mr X’s delay in bringing them to us. Events after the person left employment by the Service are not an administrative function of the Council, and we have no power to investigate them. In any event, we could not say any fault by the Service caused the injustice Mr X alleges.
