  • Somerset Council (24 001 687)

    Statement Upheld Alternative provision 01-Nov-2024

    Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to provide her child, Y, with a suitable alternative education while they were absent from school. She also complained the Council delayed in issuing Y’s Education Health and Care Plan, failed to deliver the provision in the plan and failed to communicate with her during the process. The Council failed to review the suitability of Y’s alternative education and delayed in issuing their EHC Plan. The Council will apologise and make a payment to Mrs X to acknowledge her frustration and Y’s lack of education provision.

  • Buckinghamshire Council (24 008 837)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 01-Nov-2024

    Summary: We cannot investigate Ms X’s complaint about the contents of her daughter’s Education Health and Care Plan because Ms X has used her right of appeal to the SEND Tribunal. We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about delays in the Education Health and Care Plan process because the Council has agreed to apologise to Miss X and pay her £350. We consider this an appropriate remedy and further investigation is therefore unlikely to achieve anything more.
