Haringey Council failed to act on 1,100+ unread welfare and police reports, contributing to a man’s severe injury from a fall.
Haringey Council admitted it failed to act on over 1,100 unread welfare and police reports, including urgent alerts, leading to a man with a seizure disorder suffering a life-changing injury after a fall.
The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman criticized the delay, stating it left the man at significant risk, though it couldn’t confirm if earlier action would have prevented the incident.
The council apologized, cleared the backlog, pledged staff training, launched an independent review, and agreed to pay £2,000 in compensation.
Opposition leaders called the situation “shocking” and “negligent,” demanding accountability and systemic reform.
