Essex County Council (23 001 035)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 22-Feb-2024
Summary: Ms X complained the Council did not respond to her request for a Personal Budget, meaning her child did not receive tutoring and support he should have. There was some fault by the Council in the way it communicated with Ms X about her request to use additional funding as a Personal Budget, however this did not cause her significant injustice. We have not investigated Ms X’s other complaints about delays in issuing a final Education, Health and Care plan as we previously agreed a remedy for any injustice this caused. We cannot investigate Ms X’s complaint about the content of the latest Education, Health and Care plan the Council issued as Ms X has appeal rights to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) which she has exercised.

Summary: We will not investigate this late complaint about the Council placing a charge against the late Mrs B’s property or Mr E’s complaints about the way the Council arranged and commissioned care for her in 2016. This is because Mr E could have come to us sooner if he was concerned about Mrs B’s placement or paying for Mrs B’s care.

Essex County Council (23 011 966)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 06-Feb-2024
Summary: We cannot investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s escalation of a penalty charge notice. This is because Mr X applied to the Traffic Enforcement Centre at Northampton County Court to take the process back to an earlier stage. We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint that the Council’s enforcement agents visited his property after he made his application to the Traffic Enforcement Centre. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault.

Essex County Council (23 014 547)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 30-Jan-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about matters of educational provision and social care assistance. The complaint about matters before 2023 is late and there is no good reason to exercise discretion to investigate it now. The complaint about educational provision is not separable from matters where Miss X used her right of appeal to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal. There is no evidence Miss X has complained to the Council about matters of social care provision since January 2023 or since the Tribunal hearing. Once she has done so, she would be welcome to return to us promptly about those matters.
