    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 23-Dec-2024

    Summary: Miss Y complained about the way the Council dealt with Z’s Education, Health and Care needs assessment and the special educational provision in their Education Health and Care Plan.

The Council has agreed to remedy this injustice by apologising to Miss Y, making payments to reflect the impact on Z of the missed SEN provision and the time and trouble, travel costs and distress caused to Miss Y and a service improvement.

  • London Borough of Harrow (24 005 159)

    Statement Upheld Transport 23-Dec-2024

    Summary: There was fault by the Council in how it handled Mr B’s application for a blue badge and his appeal about this. The Council cannot show how it considered that Mr B had suffered recent falls. It is wrong to say that it can only use the information he provided. It should have considered whether he was complaining about the conduct of the assessor when he appealed the Council’s decision to renew his blue badge. This has left Mr B uncertain that his application and appeal was properly considered, but it is unlikely that a fresh review would mean the Council decide he is eligible for a blue badge. The Council has agreed to take action to remedy the injustice.
