We found fault with the Council’s delays of 26 weeks outside timescales producing an amended final Education, Health and Care plan for Ms X’s child in 2025. We also found fault with the Council failing to provide Ms X’s child’s Education, Health and Care Plan provision for two full terms. The Council agreed to apologise to Ms X and make a symbolic financial payment to address the distress, frustration, delayed appeal rights and missed provision experienced by Ms X and her child.
