Staffordshire County Council (24 018 849)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 31-Oct-2025
Summary: We uphold the complaint. The Council delayed reviewing an Education, Health and Care Plan. And it did not check on the delivery of the contents of the Education, Health and Care Plan after the child stopped attending school. This creates some uncertainty about whether the child might have received more education but for the fault. It also delayed the parent’s appeal rights. The Council has agreed to our recommendations to provide a remedy for the distress these faults led to.
