Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many complaints his Department has received about local authorities on (a) education, health and care plans, and (b) the local offer, under sections 496 and 497 of the Education Act 1996.

The department receives correspondence from parents, including complaints. To differentiate complaints from other correspondence relating to special educational needs and disability would require a significant update to our correspondence management system.
