A council has been told to pay a family more than £6,000 after failing to provide alternative education to a pupil who struggled to attend classes. The girl, who was at primary school in west Northamptonshire, had been out of full-time education for six months due to mental health issues in April 2023. The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman found several faults in West Northamptonshire Council’s actions and stated it could have done more for the pupil. The council acknowledged the ombudsman’s findings and said it had apologised to the family.
