    Can't answer yes or no.:

    Yes. An LA may arrange for ALP or part of the ALP to be made otherwise than in a school (often called EOTIS) but only if satisfied that it would be inappropriate for the additional learning provision to be made in a school: s.53(2) ALNET.

    Examples of EOTIS provision include PRUs, schools established in hospitals, FEIs, and individual tuition at home: para 18.9 ALNET

    This is not the same as where a parent decides to electively home educate their child (EHE).
