Statement Upheld Special educational needs 08-Sep-2025
Summary: Miss C complained the Council named an inappropriate school in her son’s, who I will refer to as D, Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC Plan) and failed to deliver section F provision in the Plan to him. She also complained the Council’s communication with her was poor. There was fault by the Council. It did not ensure D received section F provision in his EHC Plan. It also did not arrange alternative provision for D when it was aware he was not receiving regular full-time education or later when he was permanently excluded. The Council’s communication with Miss C was also poor. Because of the fault, Miss C suffered distress, and D suffered a loss of education and provision. The Council has agreed to apologise to Miss C and D, and make symbolic payments.

Statement Upheld Alternative provision 08-Sep-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained about the Council’s delay and failure to provide full time education for her son. There was fault, as the Council delayed sending final Education, Health and Care Plans after annual review meetings. And, it did not provide full time alternative provision or Occupational Therapy until the Education, Health and Care Plan was completed. An apology, payment and finalising the Education, Health and Care Plan remedies the injustice to the family.

Statement Upheld Licensing 08-Sep-2025
Summary: Mrs B complained on behalf of the residents’ association that the Council failed to ensure the caravan site they live on complies with the site licence and legal requirements. The Council initially dealt with possible breaches of the licence effectively. However, it has failed to determine whether the Electrical Safety Certificate meets the requirements, and it took too long to deal with Mrs B’s complaints about this. This caused the residents frustration and continued uncertainty. The Council will apologise to Mrs B and make a symbolic payment. The Council will also determine whether the certificate meets the requirements, write to Mrs B to let her know, and set out what it will do to make sure any breach is remedied.

Statement Not upheld Special educational needs 08-Sep-2025
Summary: Mr X complained that the Council and his college failed to provide special educational provision in his Education, Health and Care Plan, had poor communication and complaint handling, did not allow him to enrol on courses he wanted and mis-recorded his personal information. We find no fault in the way the Council secured his special educational provision and handled his complaints. We have discontinued the investigation into his complaints about his college. Further investigation into the issues regarding special educational needs would not lead to a different outcome, and we cannot investigate the matters that are not about special educational needs.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 08-Sep-2025
