Does the local education authority hold a list of approved tutors?
Local Education Authorities (LEA’s) do not keep lists of approved tutors. LEA’s directory employ home tutors in order make provision for children who are unable to attend school on a protracted basis and for whom alternative special arrangements are necessary. The names of such LEA home tutors cannot be made available to the public in order to employ them privately. Can the school help me identify a tutor? Your child’s school may be the best place to start. Share your concerns about your child’s progress. Otherwise, staff may not be aware of your worries. Staff will already have a good knowledge of your child and his or her individual learning needs and abilities. They may be able to offer additional support to your child as part of the teaching they provide in school. If you remain concerned staff at the school may know of other colleagues who would be willing to provide additional support for you child at home on a private paid basis. All teaching staff employed in maintained schools
