    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 14-Oct-2025

It would be reasonable for Mr X to use his right of appeal with the Valuation Tribunal.

  • Slough Borough Council (24 009 992)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 13-Oct-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to provide her son with a full-time education and the provision in his Education, Health and Care Plan. She also says the Council’s communication about Education, Otherwise Than At School provision for her son was poor. We find the Council was at fault for how it handled Mrs X’s son’s education and its failure to provide him with the provision in his Education, Health and Care Plan. It was also at fault for its communication with Mrs X. These faults caused distress and upset. Mrs X’s son missed education and provision. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X, make financial payments and provide training to its staff.
