Education for children with health needs who cannot attend school

This is statutory guidance for local authorities.

It applies to:

  • mainstream schools
  • academies and free schools
  • independent schools
  • special schools
  • where a child is not on the roll of a school

Local authorities must follow this guidance when carrying out their duty to arrange suitable full-time education (or part-time when appropriate for the child’s needs) for children who are unable to attend a mainstream or special school because of their health. The guidance applies equally whether a child cannot attend school at all or can only attend intermittently.
