Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 16-Sep-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the actions of the Council concerning Mr X’s special educational needs. Matters between 2018 and 2024 are historic and we could not carry out a robust investigation. Mr X would also have had a right of appeal against a council decision to cease his Education Health and Care Plan in 2024 it would have been reasonable to use if he was still living in its area at that time.

Wokingham Borough Council (23 020 553)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 15-Sep-2025
Summary: Mrs X complains the Council failed to ensure her child, Y, had sufficient full-time education, put in place the provision outlined in Section F and failed to name a suitable placement. Mrs X also says the Council failed to carry out an annual review, act on or respond to her request for a personal budget and carry out agreed actions or respond to communications. Mrs X says this has caused her and her family distress and that Y has missed educational provision. We have found fault in the Councils actions for failing to complete the annual review process, ensure provision was in place in line with Y’s EHC plan and delay in dealing with a request for a personal budget. The Council has agreed to issue Mrs X with an apology and pay her a financial payment.

Birmingham City Council (24 014 164)
Statement Upheld Allocations 15-Sep-2025
Summary: Miss B complained about the Council’s decision to close her housing application as incomplete. We find that the Council was wrong to close Miss B’s application because she had provided all the required information. This caused Miss B unnecessary frustration, worry and inconvenience. The Council has already apologised to Miss B. It has also agreed to make a symbolic payment to Miss B, backdate her registration date and make service improvements.

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (24 015 738)
Statement Not upheld Alternative provision 15-Sep-2025
Summary: Ms X complained that the Council failed to provide suitable education to her daughter after she was permanently excluded from school. We have found no fault with the Council. It met its statutory duties to Ms X’s daughter by offering what it considered to be suitable education and considering Ms X’s objections before making its decision. As there was no fault in how the Council decided the education was suitable for Y, we have no power to question its judgment.
