The council says there are no targets for reducing EHCPs and will continue to provide educationally enabling services
Sutton Council says there are no plans to reduce support given to children with educational needs, following concerns about one of its providers.
Cognus is commissioned by the council to provide services to a number of schools and specialist education providers.
But published minutes of a board meeting raised concerns amongst parents over the future provision of Education, Health and Care Plans.
A Sutton Council spokesperson said:
“Following the release of Cognus minutes we would like to recognise families' concerns."
“An issue with redacted documents being reconstructed arose because of an administrative process that was only used on this occasion.
Other FOIs released by the Council are unaffected by this.
The Council continues to work with Cognus, Sutton Parents Carers Forum and partners to provide a range of channels for feedback from parents and carers from across the borough to be raised.
The Council can confirm there are no targets around ceasing EHCPs."
