Home Tuition and The Law

In certain circumstances a child that does not attend school may be entitled to home tuition.

Section 19 Education Act 1996 provides that home tuition may be arranged if a child is out of school by reason of "illness" "exclusion" or where there are "otherwise" good reasons for providing the support.

Home tuition may in some cases be arranged when a child cannot attend school because they may have been bullied and therefore are too afraid to return to school. It is however essential to ensure that you are aware of your rights in these circumstances.
