Statement Upheld Special educational needs 21-Oct-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s actions relating to an Education, Health, and Care Plan.

There are no wider public interest issues to justify investigating this complaint.

London Borough of Brent (24 021 819)
Statement Upheld School transport 21-Oct-2025
Summary: Miss B complained the Council failed to properly consider whether to award school transport for her daughter. The Council failed to properly consider Miss B’s representations, the discretionary element of its policy and failed to arrange a stage two panel to consider the case. That leaves Miss B with some uncertainty about whether her daughter would have secured school transport. An apology, payment to Miss B and training for officers is satisfactory remedy.
