Hampshire County Council (24 006 426)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 21-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about delays in the review of her child’s Education, Health and Care Plan because the Council offered a suitable remedy. We cannot investigate parts of Miss X’s complaints because she used her right to appeal to a Tribunal. We cannot investigate Miss X’s complaints about how her child was taught in school because the law says we cannot. We will not investigate the remaining parts of Miss X’s complaint because there is insufficient evidence of fault, and an investigation is unlikely to achieve any additional outcome.
