Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council (24 011 315)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 27-Apr-2025
Summary: Mr and Mrs X complained the Council took too long to act when they advised it they could no longer home educate their child, Y. The Council is at fault for delays in consulting with schools, delay in issuing Y’s final Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan, failing to provide Y with the provision in his EHC Plan when Mrs X had advised it she could no longer home educate him and failing to provide a timely response to Mrs X’s complaint and her concerns. This has resulted in Y missing out on a school place in September 2024, he is still at home and the Council expect him to continue to be home educated when Mrs X told the Council in November 2023 she could no longer home educate him, the Council’s actions have impacted upon Y’s education and development and they have caused avoidable distress to Mr and Mrs X. The Council has agreed to provide a remedy payment to acknowledge the injustice caused and to review Y’s education without delay.
