Statement Upheld Special educational needs 05-Nov-2024

Summary: Mr X complains the Council has failed to provide his son, Y, with suitable alternative education and the content of his Education, Health and Care Plan since January 2022. Mr X says this has caused Y and his family distress and Y has missed out on his education. Mr X wants the Council to put a plan in place to allow Y to receive an appropriate education and return to school. We have found fault in the actions of the Council for delays in putting place Section 19 provision and responding to Mr X’s complaint. The Council has already apologised for this so we have not recommended any remedy.
