- Summary
-
Miss X complained the Council failed to properly safeguard her while she was a child in care. As a result, she has suffered from trauma and multiple health issues in her adult life. Miss X also complained the Council made inappropriate entries in her care records. We will not investigate this complaint. Miss X could have raised her concerns with the Ombudsman sooner and it is unlikely we would now be able to carry out an effective investigation. It is not appropriate to exercise discretion to investigate Miss X's complaint outside the normal timeframes.
