The Council was at fault for failing to secure the speech and language therapy in Mr X’s child, W’s, Education, Health and Care Plan. This caused Mr X significant frustration and meant W missed out on provision they were entitled to. The Council has since remedied W’s injustice but not Mr X’s, for which it will apologise and make a symbolic payment. The Council will also review why the fault occurred and what it needs to do to prevent similar fault in future.
