    Can't answer yes or no.:

    Section 7 EA 1996 sets out that every parent must ensure their child receives a full-time education that is: 

    1. Suitable for a child’s age, ability and aptitude.
    2. Accommodates any ALN.

    This can be provided either by the parent sending their child to a state or private school (aka independent school), or by EOTIS from the local authority, or by EHE provided or arranged by the parent themselves.

    More: >02.09 Does the duty on parents to ensure their child receives suitable education apply in the same way to parents of children with ALN?
