Buckinghamshire Council (25 015 279)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 16-Mar-2026
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Education, Health and Care Plan process for her son. Mrs X’s appeal to the Tribunal places much of the complaint outside our jurisdiction.

Milton Keynes Council (25 015 295)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 16-Mar-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s allocation for a primary school place for Miss X’s child starting school in September 2025. The Council is not the admissions authority for the school, which is an academy. Miss X has or had a right to appeal to the academy trust against its refusal of a place. There is not enough evidence of fault by the Council to warrant investigation, because its role was only to administer the allocation of school places. When a parent declines the offer of a school place, that does not create a Council duty to offer alternative educational provision.
