Worcestershire County Council has apologized after failing to properly educate and provide therapy for a vulnerable child and placing a disabled child in an unsuitable home, as ruled by the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman. The council must now pay compensation and follow LGSCO recommendations within three months. Despite the apology, the council's representative Marcus Hart stated these cases are rare exceptions and noted there may be more unreported issues.
