We will not investigate this complaint about child protection issues. This is because the matter complained about could reasonably have been mentioned as part of the legal proceedings regarding a closely related matter. It is reasonable to expect Miss Y to go to the Information Commissioner about her data protection complaint. It is not a good use of public resources to investigate complaints about complaint handling when we are unable to deal with the substantive issue.
