Wakefield Metropolitan District Council (25 009 540)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 25-Jun-2026
Summary: The Council delayed in completing the annual review of Y’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan. The Council’s fault caused Y lost educational provision and their mother, Ms X, frustration. The Council was also at fault in its handling of Ms X’s complaint, causing her confusion. The Council should agree remedies to recognise the injustice caused. The Council failed to send Ms X a copy of its Personal Budget policy, but this did not cause her injustice. The Council was not at fault when it refused to allow Ms X to pay for activities using a prepaid card. I have ended my investigation into Ms X’s complaint that the Council issued a final amended EHC Plan without following the proper process because there is insufficient evidence that any fault by the Council caused injustice to Ms X or Y.

We found the Council at fault for failing to inform Mr X of the investigation and for poor record keeping. This caused him distress and uncertainty. The Council has agreed to apologise, pay a symbolic remedy, and take action to prevent this happening in future.
