    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 25-Sep-2025

  • Suffolk County Council (24 011 338)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 25-Sep-2025

    Summary: Ms X complained of significant delay in the Council’s assessment of her child for an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan. She also complained the Council did not provide her child with a suitable education. The Council is at fault for failing to meet statutory timescales and failing to provide a suitable education. It has agreed to remedy the injustice caused by making a payment to Ms X for the loss of education and avoidable distress. The Council has also agreed to make service improvements.

  • Dacorum Borough Council (24 011 443)

    Statement Upheld Other 25-Sep-2025
