Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many complaints he or his predecessors have received in relation to local authorities acting on (a) Education, Health and Care Plans and (b) the Local Offer under the provisions of 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.
