Statement Upheld Special educational needs 29-Oct-2025
Summary: We found fault by the Council on Mrs Y’s complaint that it failed to follow statutory timescales following a request for it to carry out an Education, Health and Care needs assessment for her son. It also failed to provide her son with appropriate education when he was on a reduced timetable or had been suspended. The Council agreed to send a written apology for the failings, pay £1,400 for the injustice caused by not completing the assessment within statutory timescales, pay £7,200 for lost alternative provision, remind officers of the need to consider its duties for children not attending school, and ensure it has processes in place to monitor and review the progress of these children, especially where it decides to do an assessment.
