Surrey County Council (24 022 286)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 19-Mar-2026
Summary: The complaint is about the Council not providing Mrs H’s daughter with education she was entitled to, partly because it was using out of date information in her Education, Health and Care Plan. We uphold the complaint, due to the Council not checking with the school about what alternative provision it was putting in place when the child stopped attending school. The Council has agreed to our recommendation that it make Mrs H a payment for tuition fees she could have avoided. And a symbolic payment for the uncertainty about whether Mrs H’s daughter might have been able to receive more provision but for the fault.
