  • Hertfordshire County Council (24 006 445)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 17-Mar-2025

    Summary: Mrs B complained that the Council had not ensured that her daughter received the specialist occupational therapy set out in her Education Health and Care Plan. There was fault by the Council. It has not provided the therapy and has not communicated with Mrs B about this properly. This has caused Mrs B distress and frustration and means her daughter has missed out on the provision she needs to support her at school. The Council has agreed to make symbolic payments to Mrs B, and share an action plan as to how it will make sure K gets the therapy she is entitled to.

  • Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (24 007 589)

    Statement Upheld Enforcement 17-Mar-2025

    Summary: X complained about the Council’s handling of development which had an unacceptable impact on their homes. We found no fault causing injustice in how the Council granted planning permission for the development. But we found avoidable delay by the Council in dealing with X’s reports of breaches of planning control on the development site. We also found avoidable delay in the Council’s handling of X’s complaint about the development. To put matters right, the Council agreed to apologise to X for the frustration caused by its avoidable delays and to reach a final decision on unresolved enforcement issues. The Council also agreed to make a symbolic payment of £250 to Mrs Z as representative for X, in recognition of her avoidable time and trouble caused by delays in its complaints handling.
