Leeds City Council (24 010 011)
Report Upheld Special educational needs 15-Aug-2025
Summary: Education – Special educational needs (SEN) assessments and reviews The Council took more than 72 weeks to issue an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan for Mr X's child, Y. It should have completed this in 20 weeks. As a result, Mr X was caused uncertainty about whether Y could have started at their preferred school a year sooner if not for the fault. The family have also been caused a prolonged period of frustration. The Council’s lack of educational psychologists has already significantly delayed many families in obtaining EHC Plans. However, once the Council receives the educational psychology advice it needs, it is still routinely taking more than 7 months to finalise EHC Plans. This is significant drift and delay by this Council affecting hundreds of its children and young people with special educational needs.

Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 14-Aug-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council delayed completing Mental Capacity Assessments to decide if a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard was required for her son, Mr Y. Mrs X said Mr Y may have been illegally deprived of his liberty since he turned 18. Mrs X said this caused her significant distress. There was fault in the way the Council did not complete the correct assessments within a reasonable timescale. This fault meant Mr Y has been deprived of his liberty without the legal authority to do so. This frustrated and distressed Mrs X. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a financial payment, provide training to its staff and take action to address its backlog of other outstanding Mental Capacity Assessment and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards
