Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 08-Oct-2024
Summary: Miss X complains about the Council’s decision to cease to maintain her son, Y’s, EHCP and a failure to inform of a change in Y's caseworker. We cannot investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s decision to cease to maintain Y’s EHCP. Y had a right of appeal to the SEND Tribunal to appeal the Council’s decision to cease to maintain their EHCP, and this means the matter is out of our jurisdiction. Further, the Council has apologised to Miss X and reminded local settings of its expectations in order to ensure information is correctly shared in future.
