Find out more about service improvements

When we find fault, we can recommend improvements to systems and processes where they haven’t worked properly, so that others do not suffer from these same problems in future. Common examples are policy changes; procedural reviews; and staff training. Service improvements from decisions are published for 5 years and those from reports are published for 10 years.

    Summary

    There was fault by the Council. It failed to amend Y’s Education, Health and Care Plan following an annual review in December 2021 and failed to complete annual reviews in 2022 or 2023. It also failed to secure the special educational provision in Y’s Plan and delayed responding to Ms X’s complaint. This caused a loss of special educational provision, a loss of appeal rights, avoidable frustration, distress and time and trouble complaining. The Council will issue an apology, make payments for missed educational provision, complete a further annual review and devise a new policy and training for officers.

    Service improvements

    The Council should create a policy on managing the cases of children with Education Health and Care Plans who receive Education Other Than At School or are Electively Home Educated and provide training to officers in the inclusion and special educational needs teams on it.
