The council is accused of 'losing control' of the boy's education.
A family has been awarded more than £7,000 in compensation after Leeds City Council were accused of having “lost control” of their son’s education.
The council has apologised, saying it’s handling a huge increase in demand for help for special needs children. The Ombudsman said the child, who has autism, ADHD and “entrenched” mental health issues, was pulled out of school in October 2019, with mainstream education no longer felt to be suitable for him.
But the Ombudsman added: “However, it appears the council did not follow through its plans, so that by July 2022, seven months later, support was still not in place and the school was still ‘chasing’ the council for funding .The local authority also apologised for a delay in reviewing his son’s education health and care plan , which councils have to devise for all youngsters with special needs. Councils across the country have experienced huge rise in requests for EHCPs since the pandemic.
The Ombudsman, who referred to the boy anonymously as ‘B’ throughout the report said: “In conclusion, the council appears to have lost control of B’s education between May 2021 when it failed to review and amend his EHC plan and December 2022 when it agreed to consider home tutoring again and review the plans in light of the difficulties his school was having recruiting a tutor.”
