Education Support for Medical Absence (ESTMA) Formerly Hospital and Home Education (HHE)The County policy for Hospital and Home Education (HHE) has been written to take account of the DfES (now DCSF) 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 DCSF 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. The Education Support Team for Medical Absence (ESTMA) 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. The Children, Schools and Families Policy for Access to Education for Children and Young People is in the process of being updated (October 2008). Contact Alison Boyd on 01442 453311.
