You can see more information about what Local Authorities are supposed to do about disagreements and complaints in chapter 11 of the SEND Code of Practice 2015

Not every expression of dissatisfaction will be a complaint. If you are dissatisfied about something we have not done then you should request for us to do something. We will then deal with your request as part of our day to day business, not through our complaints process.

The contact details for the Barnet Education and Learning Services (BELS) officer, responsible for managing the complaints process is:

Richard Ojera

Information Officer

Business Support and Communications Team

Barnet Education and Learning Service

2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, NW9 4EW

Tel: 020 8359 5323 | Email: [email protected]

If having followed the Council’s complaint process you do not consider your complaint has been fully answered you can refer your complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman.

Making a complaint can help organisations learn lessons from the mistakes and prevent them from happening to anyone else.
