I understand that, arising from an appeal, the level of home tuition approved for the child in question was recently raised from ten to 20 hours per week. That represents a very significant level of one-to-one support, which will continue to be made available to the child until a school placement commences. The school in which placement has been sought is due to obtain new accommodation in the near future, and I am advised that a place will be made available for the child in question at that stage.
