— LGSCO's summary: "The Council is at fault for the way in which it banned Mr & Mrs X from visiting their daughter, Ms Y in her supported living accommodation for almost a year. It failed to investigate allegations against Mrs X fairly and failed to consider the impact of the ban on Ms Y. It also failed to conduct a mental capacity assessment of Ms Y in line with legislation."
