Report Upheld Special educational needs 24-Aug-2017

Summary: The council failed to ensure Mr and Mrs X’s son, S, received the support required by his Statement of Special Educational Needs (Statement). In total, since 2008 the council’s failings meant S missed out on 23 months of support. This caused him a significant disadvantage. Mr and Mrs X have complained to the council four times about this and three times to us. This is the second public report we have issued about the council’s failure to provide the special educational support S needs. For the complaint which we did not deal with, Mr and Mrs X had to endure a lengthy complaint procedure before their complaints were upheld by the council.
