The Council was at fault for delays in consulting schools and finalising Y’s Education Health and Care Plan following their annual review, for poor communication and for failing to ensure Y received an appropriate and accessible education whilst it sought an alternative school. The Council has agreed to apologise and make a payment to Mrs X to acknowledge the loss of education provision, uncertainty, frustration and delayed appeal rights this caused.
