Summary (the LGO's words, from its website)
We will not investigate this complaint about the way the Council handled an Education, Health and Care needs assessment. This is because the law says we cannot investigate when a complainant has used their right of appeal to a Tribunal. For the remaining parts of the complaint, there is no worthwhile outcome achievable by our further investigation.
