Full Decision

Summary

Mr C complained about the content of a psychological risk assessment, which he said contained out-of-date information which had been obtained during discussions when he was unwell.

We found the psychologist was entitled to take historic discussions into account, even if Mr C was now saying different things. We were satisfied that Mr C's own views were adequately reflected in the assessment report. We therefore did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
