  • London Borough of Harrow (21 018 975)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 04-Nov-2022

    Summary: Miss X complained about the Council’s failure to provide her son, Y, with the provision set out in his Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan between June 2021 and July 2022 after he moved to the Council’s area. The Council was at fault when it failed to secure the provision set out in Y’s plan. It delayed naming a school placement and failed to adhere to statutory timescales for sending EHC documents. The Council should pay Miss X £4,100 to remedy the impact the faults had on Y’s education. It should also pay Miss X £200 for the distress and frustration it caused when it delayed naming a mainstream school for Y. The Council should remind relevant staff of the timescales for sending documents relating to EHC plans.
