  • Derbyshire County Council (24 017 732)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: The Council was at fault because it poorly communicated with Mrs X following a review of her child, Y’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan and delayed issuing a final EHC Plan. It failed to provide Y with alternative provision when they could not attend school, and it delayed responding to Mrs X’s request for a reassessment of Y’s needs. The Council also failed to complete a review of Y’s EHC Plan in preparation of Y’s school phase transfer year, and it delayed responding to Mrs X’s complaints. It caused Mrs X distress, frustration and uncertainty and delayed her right to appeal. Y also missed receiving educational provision. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X and make her a symbolic payment for the injustice caused. The Council will also make service improvements to prevent a recurrence of fault.

We recommended the Council apologises and makes a payment to Ms X.

The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X and process the complaint via the children’s statutory complaint procedure, without delay.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 13-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s role in a school trying to manage attendance, behaviour, and access to full time education.
