“This case was allowed to take too long to resolve at a time when demand for Education, Health and Care Plans (ECHPs) had risen sharply and put staff under great pressure.
Extra investment has since been made in the team handling EHCPs and processes have been reviewed to provide a better, more responsive service to the thousands of families that use it.”
Cllr Jonathan Price, Cabinet Member for Education (and SEND) |
