Hertfordshire County Council is under police investigation for allegedly not accepting some requests for Education, Health and Care (EHCP) assessments, with a parent suggesting the council may be deliberately refusing some requests to manage demand. The council denies the allegations and says it is fully cooperating with the police. The council also announced an additional £7m investment into statutory SEND services and plans to create 1,000 new SEND school places by 2026.
