Because of this we cannot question the outcome.

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 03-Jun-2025

    Summary: Miss X complained the Council failed to properly support her child, Y’s, special educational needs. There was fault in how the Council failed to keep Y’s alternative education under review and how it decided to withdraw school transport.

The Council agreed to apologise, pay Miss X a financial remedy and issue reminders to its staff.
