Statement Upheld Special educational needs 23-Dec-2024
Summary: Miss Y complained about the way the Council dealt with Z’s Education, Health and Care needs assessment and the special educational provision in their Education Health and Care Plan. We have found fault by the Council, causing injustice, in failing to: consult with school A or other schools before issuing the final EHC Plan in 2023; properly consider Miss Y’s request for free school transport; and deliver the SEN provision in Z’s EHC Plan. The Council has agreed to remedy this injustice by apologising to Miss Y, making payments to reflect the impact on Z of the missed SEN provision and the time and trouble, travel costs and distress caused to Miss Y and a service improvement.

London Borough of Harrow (24 005 159)
Statement Upheld Transport 23-Dec-2024
Summary: There was fault by the Council in how it handled Mr B’s application for a blue badge and his appeal about this. The Council cannot show how it considered that Mr B had suffered recent falls. It is wrong to say that it can only use the information he provided. It should have considered whether he was complaining about the conduct of the assessor when he appealed the Council’s decision to renew his blue badge. This has left Mr B uncertain that his application and appeal was properly considered, but it is unlikely that a fresh review would mean the Council decide he is eligible for a blue badge. The Council has agreed to take action to remedy the injustice.

Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (24 011 576)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 23-Dec-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about how the Council removed his relative from his care and investigated under its safeguarding procedures. This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. We are unlikely to find evidence of fault, and we cannot achieve the outcomes requested.
