Complaints about school admissions made to the Local Government Ombudsmen (LGOs) in the last year have risen by 50 per cent, according to figures.
The LGO’s Annual Report 2008/09 reveals complaints have increasd to 1,422 from 942 in 2007/08. The report is published at the same time as the annual reviews on every local authority in England. The reviews provide a summary of information on the complaints about each council that the LGO has received and, where possible, draw any lessons learned on an authority’s performance and complaint-handling arrangements.
