A Leeds dad has been awarded more than £5,000 in compensation after the city council failed to provide “suitable education” for his son.
A report by the Local Government Ombudsman revealed how the child, who has special educational needs, missed an entire academic year as he approached secondary school age.
The Ombudsman said the council failed to provide the required tuition after the pupil left two schools in quick succession, because they were unable to cater for him.
