Decision summary
The full decision text is not held on this site. The original decision on the LGO (Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman) website is linked above.
We will not investigate this complaint about Mr X’s unhappiness with a psychological report. This is because this part of the complaint is late and there is no good reason to exercise discretion to investigate. We will not investigate Mr X’s unhappiness with court proceedings involving the Council because we do not have the jurisdiction to investigate matters that took place in court. In addition, we will not investigate Mr X’s complaint regarding safeguarding concerns he raised about his child. This is because an investigation would be unlikely to find fault with the Council’s actions.
