Ms X complained the Council failed to review Y’s Education, Health and Care Plan within statutory time limits and failed to put alternative provision in place for him while he was out of school. The Council was at fault for delay in completing the review and putting alternative provision in place, causing uncertainty and meaning Y missed out on education he was entitled to. The Council has agreed to apologise and make payment to reflect the injustice caused.
