Worcestershire County Council (24 012 293)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 13-May-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to arrange alternative educational provision for her child (Y) after they became unwell and unable to attend school in the 2023/2024 school year. The Council was at fault for failing to consider alternative educational provision when Mrs X raised attendance problems in late April 2024. However, this did not cause an injustice as Y was not absent for 15 days or more which is a requirement for the Council to arrange alternative provision. Y also went on study leave five weeks after Mrs X raised attendance problems and any alternative education provision would not have been arranged before this period.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 13-May-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the NHS Trust and the Council moved his father from hospital into a care home that could not meet his needs. Mr X says the failings led to his father suffering an injury which hastened his death. Mr X also complained the Council missed carer’s assessments, which meant he missed payments. We will not investigate these complaints because there is not enough evidence of fault with the discharge planning or with how the Council dealt with a carer’s assessment request. Other complaints about earlier carer’s assessments were late.
