Statement Upheld Domiciliary care 24-Mar-2025
Summary: Mrs X complains about the care her late mother (Mrs Y) received at the care home, OSJCT Langford View, arranged for her by the Council. The care home’s records do not support what it said to Mrs X when responding to her complaint. It also failed to record her daughter’s visit to Mrs Y. While this did not impact significantly on Mrs Y’s care, the Council needs to apologise for the distress caused and work with the care home to improve its record keeping.

Essex County Council (24 007 940)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 24-Mar-2025
Summary: The Council failed to make sure that Mrs B’s son received his full provision as set out in his Education Health and Care Plan. There was fault by the Council because it failed to review and amend the Plan in accordance with government guidance. The lack of support meant that her son failed his college exams and lost his apprenticeship. The Council has improved how it handles transitions for post-16 students, with a new dedicated team. It should also apologise to Mrs B and her son, and make a payment to recognise the impact on them both.
