Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS left an annotation (7 September 2008)

Between 2001 and 2008 there were about 258 Local Settlements agreed between the LGO and Camden. There was about one Maladministration and Injustice report.

About 5.4% of the local settlements included a discrimination and harassment component covered by UK equalities legislation.

Dear Hilary Pook,

Thank you for your reply.

So that I can get a clear picture of the situation, I would be
grateful if you to give me a break down of the races/racial origins
of the complainants whose complaints resulted in:

1. Local settlement

2. NM

3. OD

4. OJ

Please may I ask you to give me a break for for each of the above
categories.

Please may I also ask you to confirm the number of complainants
from each of the above categories who proceeded to appeal/complain
against the decision of the ombudsman.

How many of the appeals/complaints against the ombudsman's decision
were upheld?

Yours sincerely,

Theresa Ezekpo
