London Borough of Tower Hamlets (23 008 946)
Statement Upheld Other 20-Feb-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to properly store important information about a planning agreement with his landlord. This led to an avoidable delay in providing this information. Further, Mr X complained about the Council’s communication and its failure to consider and implement requested reasonable adjustments. He also complained the Council failed to meet its complaint timescales, failed to properly record his complaints, and failed to fully address the complaints he made. We have found the Council at fault for its communication with Mr X and for failing to have due regard to his requested reasonable adjustments. We have also found the Council at fault for its complaint handling and for examples of poor administrative practice. The Council has agreed to apologise, pay a symbolic financial remedy, and provide guidance to staff.

West Sussex County Council (23 019 984)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 20-Feb-2025
Summary: Miss X complained the Council delayed completing her son, Y’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment and failed to put in alternative provision in place when he stopped attending school in January 2023. The Council delayed completing Y’s EHC needs assessment which caused a subsequent delay in issuing his final Plan. The Council agreed to make a payment to recognise the frustration and delayed appeal rights. The Council did not properly consider at the time whether it had a duty to provide alternative provision, however Y’s school did offer appropriate support and a reintegration plan and so any fault did not cause an injustice. The Council will carry out service improvements around its communication and record keeping.
