A Wirral teenager has been paid more than £4,000 after the council was hammered by a watchdog for leaving him without any education.
The teen, who has autism, had initially been offered a place at a mainstream college with a package of support in 2019, but before the start of the September term the college withdrew its offer. Wirral Council then looked at further options.
The teenager’s mum told the council she would prefer a residential school, but when the council issued a final EHC [Education, Health and Care) plan in May the following year it still did not name a school for him to attend.
