Buckinghamshire Council (24 001 992)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 02-Dec-2024
Summary: Mrs B says the Council failed to act when she raised safeguarding concerns about her son being bullied at school and failed to put in place full-time education when he stopped attending school. There is no fault in how the Council dealt with the safeguarding concerns. The Council delayed issuing an education, health and care plan which affected Mrs B’s appeal rights about the school named and failed to put in place an added subject when Mrs B asked for it. An apology, payment to Mrs B and reminder to officers is satisfactory remedy.
