Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 19-Jun-2025

Statement Upheld Homelessness 19-Jun-2025
Summary: The Council was at fault for delays completing statutory reviews of its decisions about Ms Y’s homelessness and housing allocations. It was also at fault for wrongly recording the gender of one of Ms Y’s children. This meant she could not bid for the size of property she needed, which is an injustice. The Council was further at fault for making its offer of a remedy conditional on Ms Y not pursuing her complaint. The Council has agreed to apologise, make payments, backdate Ms Y’s housing application and act to improve its services.

Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council (24 013 321)
Statement Upheld School transport 19-Jun-2025
Summary: Mrs X complains the Council has said it will provide her with a transport budget that does not cover the cost of transporting her child, Y, to his placement named in his Education, Health and Care Plan for the whole academic year. Mrs X says she is struggling to meet the travel costs and it has resulted in a lot of stress and worry. I have found fault with the Council’s transport policy, found evidence the Council did not apply the correct test as set out in law when considering Y’s application for transport, failed to provide Mrs X with a personal travel budget as promised and failed to meet statutory timescales when finalising Y’s EHC Plan following an annual review. The fault has resulted in ongoing financial hardship, ongoing delayed appeal rights and uncertainty about what decision the Appeal Panel would have made if it had been guided by an appropriate policy, suitable training and had it considered Y’s circumstances properly. The Council has agreed to remedy the injustice caused to the family and make the recommended service improvements.

Summary: Mrs F complained about the Council’s handling of her child’s Education between January 2022 to December 2023. We found fault by the Council for causing a delay of nearly 12 months in the Education, Health and Care plan process and how it communicated with Mrs F. We did not investigate Mrs F’s complaints about matters which occurred before January 2023 as these were late.
