The Local Government Ombudsman is excellent in insuring that LEA's keep to the time limits imposed by the Education Act and also that correct procedure is followed.  However, you must tell the Ombudsman what rule or regulation the LEA is breaking when you contact him.

For example:-

The LEA is NOT keeping to the strict six weeks time limit to give me a written decision as to if they will or will not assess.  This being contrary to section 3:30 of the SEN Code of Practice.
