  • North Yorkshire Council (25 011 682)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 14-Jan-2026

    Summary: We cannot investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the consultation process the Council followed when it named a placement in Miss Y’s Education, Health and Care Plan, or Mrs X’s view the Council failed to secure the content of Miss Y’s EHC Plan during a tribunal process. This is because Mrs X appealed to a tribunal, and the law says we cannot investigate.

  • Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council (25 011 731)
