Hertfordshire County Council (23 017 474)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 16-Oct-2024
Summary: Miss X complained about how the Council provided a suitable education for daughter, Y, and how it met Miss X’s needs as a carer. There was fault in how the Council delayed reviewing Y’s Education Health and Care plan, failed to keep her education under review when she was not attending school, failed to assess Miss X’s needs as a carer and how it communicated with her. This caused Y to miss out on some education and caused both Miss X and Y significant, avoidable distress. The Council agreed to apologise, pay them a financial remedy and make arrangements to review their social care needs. It also agreed to review how it identifies and monitors remedial action when responding to complaints.
