Haringey Council faces backlash after failing to act on 1,100 unread social work emails, including 500 police welfare reports, leading to a man’s life-changing injury during a seizure.
Haringey Council is under scrutiny after the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman found over 1,100 unread social work emails, including 500 police welfare reports, contributing to a man suffering a life-changing injury during a seizure.
The Ombudsman labeled the council’s inaction “inertia,” stressing that timely response could have helped, though prevention wasn’t guaranteed.
The council admitted fault, apologized, cleared the backlog, and pledged staff training and an independent safeguarding review.
Critics, including opposition councillors, called the situation “shocking” and “negligent,” demanding accountability and systemic reform, warning that past promises have not led to lasting change.
