Ilford Town Hall and Ilford High Street 21/5/14 EL77212_2. Redbridge Council says it does “not accept all the recommendations” made by an ombudsman who ordered it to pay almost £10,000 to a disabled boy’s family. On February 12, the local government ombudsman told it to pay £9,800 to the family of a disabled 11-year-old and “complete an audit” of all children with special needs at his school. Ombudsman Michael King said the council’s failures meant the boy, who has severe epilepsy and autism, missed out on year seven and 16 months of therapeutic care. A spokesperson from Redbridge Council would not confirm whether it was the recommendation to pay the family that it would not accept.
