The boy, who has special educational needs, received no schooling for more than a year, report says.
A family will get almost £10,000 in compensation after a child with special educational needs received no schooling for more than a year.
A report said the family moved to the area in September 2022 but the boy did not start school until March 2024. When the family moved the area their previous authority was still in the process of issuing him an education health and care plan , the report added. A final EHCP was presented to the family in August 2023, taking a total of 10 months compared to the council's 20-week timeframe, but the council was not able to find a place that fitted his needs.The ombudsman said the council first offered tuition in November 2023 after the child had already been out of school for more than a year.
