Wednesday 21 October: Complaint form offline

The supplier of our case management system has confirmed that they are experiencing a significant technical issue.

At present, we have no access to the case management system and we are currently unable to provide updates on existing cases.

We are planning on the basis that this could continue for a period of time including for the remainder of this week.

If you would like to check if your complaint is ready for the SPSO or enquire about making a new complaint, please complete our Complaint Checker.  

Please be assured we are doing all we can and will provide updates on our website.

Summary

Mr C was involved in correspondence with the council about a transport issue and submitted a complaint. He received an acknowledgement email but no further response from the council that referred to the complaint or dealt with the issues he had raised. Mr C raised his complaint with us. We found that the council had received the complaint but a procedural failure meant that the relevant department had not taken action on it. In light of this, we upheld Mr C's complaint and made recommendations.

Recommendations

We recommended that the council:

  • apologise to Mr C for failing to respond to his complaint;
  • respond fully to Mr C's complaint; and
  • undertake a practical test to confirm that the further training given has been successful in ensuring that no further correspondence is missed.
