View West Northamptonshire Council scorecard

Summary

Miss X complained the Council failed to ensure Y received all the provision set out in his Education, Health and Care Plan and failed to effectively deal with her complaint. We find the Council at fault causing uncertainty around whether Y received the provision he was entitled to and meaning Miss X had to spend additional time in the complaint process. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a payment to recognise the injustice and act to prevent recurrence.
