View Derbyshire County Council scorecard

Summary

Mrs F complained the Council failed to find her son a school place, secure the provision in his education, health and care plan, or provide alternative provision when they moved into the Council’s area. We found fault which caused distress and for Mrs F’s son to miss out on education for a term and a half at a key phase of his education. The Council has agreed to apologise and make symbolic payments to remedy that injustice.
