A mum was paid £3,000 by a council over 'failures' after her autistic son missed four months of school
A mum was paid £3,000 by a council over 'failures' after her autistic son missed four months of school. The compensation was awarded by an ombudsman, who found there was 'delay and poor communication' by the local authority, reports Manchester Evening News.
Salford city council then issued a second EHCP the next month and claimed Mrs X was 'slow to respond to the draft, or to name her preferred school and this caused some delay in the process'. "The council has already apologised to Mrs X for this and agrees in principle to make a symbolic payment to recognise the avoidable distress and lost opportunity to appeal sooner. It also accepted in its complaint response of July 2021 that its communication with Mrs X was poor.
"Mrs X says that she had to approach a solicitor because the council was not providing alternative education for B, despite her request for this. The council says that it began to explore alternative provision - although it does not say when - as a way of supporting transition back into B's placement in School C.
