A council has been cleared of wrongdoing over claims it did not step in to prevent a vulnerable man being exploited out of £60,000.
The ombudsman said Telford & Wrekin Council had acted correctly
The investigation report says the man was in his 60s and described himself as estranged from his siblings, including the complainant, Mrs A. Mr X was visited by police and his care coordinator, but he did not wish to pursue a complaint, the ombudsman report says. “She said she believed the alleged perpetrator had stolen many thousands of pounds from her brother.”
