Statement Upheld Special educational needs 25-Sep-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council failed, for the second time, to put in place the provision for speech and language therapy in her son’s EHC Plan. The Council accepts it failed to ensure the number of sessions in the EHC Plan were provided. That meant Ms X’s son missed out on speech and language therapy provision. An apology, payment to Ms X, arrangements for additional speech and language therapy sessions, training for officers and introduction of a process to monitor issues with provision is satisfactory remedy.
