'Injustice' and 'distress' had been caused to the mother and child
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.
An ombudsman's report, said: “Q is now 15 years old and is diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Condition , significant sensory processing difficulties and struggles with extreme anxiety.“Q stopped attending school in the first year of secondary school in November 2018 and found it difficult to leave the house unaccompanied.
Later, some one to one tuition was commenced with the child. Attempts to find suitable placements at other schools were not successful, the report found. It also said that the Covid-19 period caused issues with visiting schools as this could not have happened as X was shielding during this period. It said it began consulting with schools when it could, in October 2020, but these were not successful.
