Knowsley Hospital and Home Tuition Service

If a child is absent from school for 15 days due to health needs that can be evidenced by a medical professional, they may be referred to the Hospital and Home Tuition Service. The aim of The Hospital and Home Tuition Service is to support Children and Young People with medical needs to access education either in the hospital or at home.  The service is available to all children of compulsory school age.  They do not necessarily have Special Educational Needs and Disability .

Each child will require a tailored plan which will meet their individual needs.  Advice from the medical practitioner will be used to determine the amount of tuition offered.  

The service will liaise with the school and other agencies/teams in the interests of the CYP so that the barriers to educational achievement are reduced.
