Broadland District Council (23 020 259)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 12-Mar-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about housing provided by the Council. Most of the complaint is late and there are no good reasons to exercise discretion to investigate it now. There is not enough evidence of fault in more recent events to justify our involvement.

London Borough of Croydon (23 020 974)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 12-Mar-2025
Summary: Miss X complained about how the Council handled issues relating to her child, W’s, Education Health and Care (EHC) Plan. The Council was at fault for delay in reviewing W’s EHC Plan, mistakenly referring W for Speech and Language Therapy and for failing to assess Miss X’s needs as a parent carer. This caused Miss X frustration and upset and meant W missed out provision they should have had. To remedy their injustice, the Council will pay Miss X a total of £800 and carry out a parent carer assessment.

Derby City Council (23 021 114)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 12-Mar-2025
Summary: Mr Y complains the Council failed to ensure his daughter, D, received a suitable education when she stopped attending primary school in 2022. He also complains about delays in the Education Health and Care (EHC) process. Parts of Mr Y’s complaint are too old for us to consider without good reason. In the other parts of the complaint within our jurisdiction, there is fault because the Council did not take timely action to consider and arrange alternative provision once it became aware that D was not attending secondary school in September 2023. The Council will provide a symbolic payment for the missed provision, apologise to Mr Y, reimburse the privately funded tuition and make a further payment for distress caused by the delays.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to cease to maintain the complainant’s Education and Health Care Plan in 2023.

Bristol City Council (24 016 475)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 12-Mar-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about Mr X’s finances being affected adversely due to the Council’s failure to act on his request for a carer’s assessment. This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. There is no evidence of a causal link between the Council’s admitted fault and Mr X’s finances.
