Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 06-Feb-2025

This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. We are unlikely to find evidence of fault in the Council’s response about Mr X being blocked from a social media application and the other issues Mr X raises happened too far back in time for the Ombudsman to investigate now.
