Cambridgeshire County Council (24 018 250)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 07-Sep-2025
Summary: We found fault by the Council on Miss Y’s complaint about it failing to ensure her daughter received provision set out in her Education, Health and Care plan when on a reduced timetable. It failed to consider whether it needed to provide suitable alternative education and did not meet the statutory timescales following her annual review. The Council agreed to send Miss Y an apology, pay £3,000 for the distress caused, remind officers about the triggering of the section 19 duty for children out of school with a plan, and ensure processes are in place to monitor and review children with plans on part-time timetables. It will review why delays happened, produce an action plan showing how it will meet statutory timescales, and remind officers of the need to communicate with parents whose children are in similar situations.
