Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council (24 021 273)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 01-Sep-2025
Summary: Mrs P complained about problems with the Council in issuing and amending her young son’s (Child X) Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC Plan), as well as its alleged failure to provide him speech and language therapy. Based on the available evidence, we found the Council delayed issuing an amended EHC Plan and failed to meet with Mrs P to discuss its proposed amendments. We also found the Council failed to secure the therapy provision identified in Child X’s EHC Plans. This caused an injustice to Child X, as well as Mrs P who paid for privately arranged therapy herself. The Council has agreed to our recommendations to remedy this.
