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.The boy, named 'B', in the report was diagnosed with autism in 2018 and experiences extreme agitation in noisy and busy environments.
