North Somerset Council (24 008 105)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 25-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss E complained the Council failed to secure alternative education provision, after her child could not attend school from January 2024 onward. We upheld the complaint finding the Council did not properly consider her child’s need for alternative provision before November 2024, when it provided an Education, Health and Care Plan. We considered that if it had done so, it would have made such provision. The Council has accepted these findings. At the end of this statement, we set out the action it has agreed to remedy the injustice caused to Miss E as a result and to improve its service.

London Borough of Hillingdon (24 010 480)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 25-Jun-2025
Summary: The Council failed to review and issue Mr X’s son, Z’s, Education, Health and Care Plans on time. It also failed to plan for the support Z would need when he started post-16 college. This meant Z missed key support he needed during his GCSE year of school, he had no record of his needs as his physical disability progressed and he avoidably missed out on post-16 education. The Council’s faults also caused Z and Mr X avoidable frustration, distress and uncertainty. To recognise the injustice caused, the Council has agreed to apologise, pay Mr X and Z £2,500 and take action to improve its services.
