    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 23-Dec-2024

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Direct payments 23-Dec-2024

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 23-Dec-2024

  • Derbyshire County Council (24 016 093)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 23-Dec-2024

  • Cornwall Council (24 012 033)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 21-Dec-2024

    Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the Council’s allocation of school places for children with Education Health and Care plans.

  • Central Bedfordshire Council (24 012 357)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 21-Dec-2024
