The Council delayed issuing an amended Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan for Mrs X’s child Y. It also failed to properly respond to Mrs X’s complaint. This caused Mrs X frustration and uncertainty but did not result in Y missing out on the provision in their EHC Plan or receiving alternative educational provision. The Council has agreed to make a payment to Miss X.
