Statement Upheld Alternative provision 05-Nov-2025
Summary: Ms Y complains the Council failed to ensure her child, who I will call D, received suitable education when they were unable to attend school full-time. She also complains about the Council’s decision to refuse to issue an Education, Health and Care Plan for D. There is fault in the first part of Ms Y’s complaint because the Council cannot demonstrate that it properly considered the request for D to receive alternative education, which created uncertainty. We cannot investigate the initial decision not to issue a plan because this carried a right of appeal which Ms Y used. However, we have found some delay in the Council’s issuing of the plan causing injustice which the Council has agreed to remedy.
