London Borough of Southwark

Mr X complained the Council failed in its duty of care to him while he was a Looked After Child and failed to provide appropriate support when he left care. Mr X says he became a Looked after Child in 1999 and was mistreated by the carers he was placed with. We found there is no evidence of fault in the way the Council carried out the investigation under the statutory complaints procedure. The Council has accepted and acted on the investigations findings and recommendations and we cannot add anything significant to the investigation.
