Statement Upheld Special educational needs 30-Oct-2024
Summary: Mrs X complains the Council delayed in putting in place an education other than at school package for her daughter, Y. The Council is at fault as it delayed in delivering elements of Y’s education other than at school package and did not arrange face to face tuition for Y as agreed. These faults caused Y to miss some education provision for three terms and caused distress to her and Mrs X. The Council has agreed to remedy this injustice by making a symbolic payment of £1800 to Y and a symbolic payment of £500 to Mrs X.

Statement Not upheld Child protection 30-Oct-2024
Summary: Mr X complained about how the Council carried out Child Protection proceedings for his child, placed restrictions on how he should contact the Council, and considered his request for reasonable adjustments for his disability. He said this caused him avoidable distress and affected the outcome of Child Protection proceedings. We have ended our investigation. Since Mr X complained to us, the court granted an interim care order so his child could be temporarily taken into care and his child has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Therefore, there is nothing further we could achieve. For the remaining parts of Mr X’s complaint, our view is further investigation will not result in a finding of fault, or a different or worthwhile outcome.
