12 October (Part 2) - Three in a row
Joe Coughlan the Local Democracy reporter funded by the BBC has given
Bexley Council’s condemnation by the Local Government Ombudsman
more publicity than BiB could ever achieve with a report on both
MyLondon News and the
BBC website.
So far he has not covered the second similar criticism
of Bexley Council and certainly not the third. This one has cost taxpayers another £2,900. It’s not quite the same as the other two.
It involves a young adult and a training college which did not do all that it should or could
have done; however in law the Council remains responsible for the outcome and they failed to manage the situation adequately again.
LGO report in full.
All three cases were completed over a period of two weeks last August. There are only two Team Leaders in Bexley’s SEN department.
Is it just one responsible or are they both as bad as each other?
