As the Deputy may be aware home tuition is intended as interim provision only for children with a special educational need for whom a school placement is not available. Eligibility in this regard is determined in consultation with the National Council for Special Education (NCSE).
The NCSE has advised that a placement in an existing autism class is available for the child to whom he refers and therefore she is not eligible for home tuition. Her parents have been advised accordingly.
