    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 01-May-2025

    Summary: Miss B complained about the Council’s handling of her daughter’s Education, Health and Care Plan. We have found the Council at fault for a delay in completing the annual review held in May 2023 and its failure to consider a request for a personal budget in this time. These faults have caused Miss B distress and uncertainty. The Council has agreed to apologise and make symbolic payments to Miss B and issue a reminder to its staff to ensure they are aware of the Council duty to respond to personal budget requests.

This caused Mr and Mrs X frustration, uncertainty and distress. The Council has agreed to apologise and make a symbolic payment to remedy the injustice caused.

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 01-May-2025

We consider this an appropriate remedy and further investigation is therefore unlikely to achieve anything more.
