Lancashire County Council (24 012 189)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 20-Aug-2025
Summary: We upheld Ms X’s complaint about delays issuing Y’s Education, Health and Care Plan. This caused avoidable frustration, uncertainty and a delay in appeal rights. We also upheld Ms X complaint about poor communication and complaint handling which caused avoidable frustration. We found the Council acted in line with the law and relevant guidance by putting in place a reintegration plan and tailored support for Y as well as part-time alternative educational provision. So we did not uphold the complaint about a failure to provide full-time educational provision. The Council will apologise and make payments to Ms X.
