A MUM got \u00a3800 free cash after a council blunder left her feeling distressed.<\/p>\n

The North London woman, who has been named Mrs X, claims her daughter's school attendance dramatically dropped after local officials failed to help with mental health support.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The schoolgirl, known only as "D", was supposed to have an education, health, and care plan (EHCP) provided by Harrow Council (HC).<\/p>\n

In the plan, it should set out what D's school would need to do to ensure her special needs requirements are met.<\/p>\n

A report found that the local authority's failure to carry out the legal requirement meant both mother and daughter suffered "distress and frustration".<\/p>\n

Mrs X told investigators she was forced to take time off work to care for her "distraught child" and chase HC at the same time.<\/p>\n

The EHCP was issued in August last year but by September Mrs X raised her concerns about the school supplying appropriate provisions.<\/p>\n

Problems involved D not being given handouts with larger fonts, colourful paper and pre-teaching materials.<\/p>\n

HC told Mrs X they would follow up her doubts with the school before a "service failure" was quickly deemed.<\/p>\n

The LGO inspector found that the council had failed to provide the ECHP in full.<\/p>\n

Findings resulted in Mrs X being paid \u00a3800 for the "remedy the injustice caused".<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Harrow Council said: \u201cWe are sorry for the distress caused to the individual and her family and accept the decision of the LGO. <\/p>\n

"We are committed to working closely with the family to ensure the needs of our young residents are met.\u201d<\/p>\n
