Hampshire County Council apologised following an investigation SPECIAL Educational Needs services in Hampshire are under review after a pupil missed out on three months of schooling, it has been revealed. Hampshire County Council has said it will review the resources it had put into its Special Educational Needs (SEN) team to decide whether it is sufficient enough to carry out its workload within statutory timescales. It has also agreed to pay thousands of pounds in compensation. This comes after a mother complained to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman that her son had missed out on three months of education and SEN support, because the council delayed issuing his amended Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan.

A new mayor, deputy mayor and executive has been appointed at a full meeting of Wokingham Borough Council. Councillor Keith Baker, who has served on the council since 2006, was elected Mayor of Wokingham Borough yesterday (Thursday, May 20). Cllr Baker said: “Being the first citizen of the borough is an amazing honour, which very few councillors actually achieve, and I am extremely humbled to become one of this small group. “In many respects I’m quite old fashioned, in that I believe being mayor is something you earn through your contribution to public life, and not simply because it’s your turn.
