The Council delayed issuing a final education, health and care plan following an annual review and failed to pay for X’s speech and language therapy. That delayed Mr Y’s right of appeal, caused Mr Y distress and led to X missing out on special educational needs provision. An apology and payment to Mr Y is satisfactory remedy.
