    No. Parents have a duty to ensure their child received efficient full-time suitable education: EA 1996 s7. This can be either by paying for an independent school, making use of the facilities provided by the LA, such as attendance at school or EOTIS or by educating their child at home. Elective home education is where parents choose to provide education for their children at home. 

    EOTIS provision may take place in the family home, but it remains provision the LA is responsible for maintaining under its duties under ALNET.
