Mum paid £3,000 by council over 'failures' after autistic son misses four months of school

A mum was paid £3,000 by a council over 'failures' after her autistic son missed four months of school. The compensation was awarded by an ombudsman, who found there was 'delay and poor communication' by the local authority, reports Manchester Evening News.
A report from a Government and Social Care Ombudsman found that there was a failure by Salford city council under the terms of the Children and Families Act 2014 to provide alternative education for the boy. This came after the authority was aware that he had been out of school for 15 days.

However, the mother insists that she returned hers and her son's comments on the day she received the first draft. The report read: "Mrs X says the council agreed to specialist provision and she visited various specialist schools."
"Mrs X says the council issued a second draft and she responded promptly, naming a particular school as her preferred choice. Mrs X had to approach a solicitor because of the delay in issuing a final EHC plan.
"The solicitor sent a pre-action protocol letter,
