Statement Upheld Special educational needs 08-Nov-2024
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council delayed issuing her child, Y’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan and then failed to ensure they received the provision in the plan from July 2023 until May 2024 after it named an inappropriate school. The Council delayed issuing Y’s final EHC Plan by five months. It agreed to apologise and make a payment for the injustice that caused. Mrs X appealed the content and named placement in Y’s EHC Plan to the SEND tribunal therefore I cannot investigate the period July 2023 until May 2024 as it falls outside our jurisdiction.
