A woman who was sexually abused as a child in Telford almost 20 years ago will not have have her compliant against the council investigated by an Ombudsman.
& Social Care Ombudsman agreed that it would not have been reasonable for the anonymous Miss Y’s complaint to have been made sooner because she had been a vulnerable child at the time of the abuse.
But an investigator ruled that there was “no realistic prospect of reaching a sound decision with a meaningful outcome for Miss Y.” A statement from the Ombudsman this week said: “Miss Y complains about her experiences between 2003 and 2005 when she was sexually abused. “During this time Miss Y was subject to a Child Protection plan and she says the council failed in its duty to safeguard her.”
It added: “After considering Miss Y’s comments, I consider it would not have been reasonable for her to complain sooner.“Miss Y only felt able to start complaining in 2022 and has been pursuing the matter since.'I lost my partner and kids through drink and drugs now I'm climbing the Wrekin to raise money for the charity that helped turn my life around'
