Statement Upheld Special educational needs 27-Mar-2025
Summary: Miss X complained about the Council’s actions in relation to her child, Y’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan. The Council was at fault. It delayed issuing a draft amended and final amended EHC Plan following an annual review meeting. As a result, Y missed out on some specialist educational provision. It also caused Miss X frustration and uncertainty. The Council has already apologised to Miss X. The Council will also pay Miss X a symbolic payment of £250 to recognise the injustice caused.

London Borough of Bromley (24 012 264)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 27-Mar-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to complete annual reviews and amend her child Y’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan. She also complained it failed to deliver hydrotherapy provision. The Council was at fault. It failed to amend Y’s EHC Plan after an annual review in early 2024 which mean Y has an outdated Plan. The Council agreed to make a payment to acknowledge the distress caused to Mrs X and the delayed appeal rights and amend Y’s Plan without further delay. The hydrotherapy provision is provided by the Local Integrated Care Board and therefore falls outside of our jurisdiction.

Statement Upheld Enforcement 27-Mar-2025
Summary: Mr D complained the Council delayed progressing his report of a planning control breach. Based on current evidence I have found fault by the Council because it has failed to progress the case for over 12 months, this has left Mr D unsure about how his case has been handled or whether any action will be taken by the Council. The Council will now review Mr D’s case.

Statement Upheld Council tax 27-Mar-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council did not tell the courts and enforcement agents, also known as bailiffs, of his agreed reasonable adjustments when it took action against him regarding council tax. I do not find the Council’s actions caused Mr X significant injustice. However, I find the Council at fault for not telling the enforcement agents of the reasonable adjustments and recommend service improvements to prevent possible future injustice.
