Bury Council has been ordered to pay more than £13,000 to the mother of an autistic child who missed out on a school place for a number of years.
A local government ombudsman found that Bury Council had caused ‘injustice’ to the mother (referred to as X) and child (Q), and was at fault in failing to follow the child’s education health and care (EHC) plan since January 2020.
The complaint from the mother was that the local authority had failed to provide education in school for her child for nearly three years.
