Hospital and Home Education
The County policy for Hospital and Home Education (HHE) has been written
to take account of the DfES Access to Education Document for sick children.
All schools were sent a summary of the document in the Autumn Term 2002
(the full document is available on the DfES
website). There is an Exemplar
Schools Policy, Appendix B, for schools to modify and adapt formally through
the Governing Body, which includes the requirements of the Access to Education
Document.
Hospital and Home Education (HHE) works together with schools to provide
educational support to school age children and young people who are temporarily
unable to attend school for health related reasons. This includes provision
of both education and childcare for pregnant schoolgirls and young mothers.
