A Parents Guide to Section 19 – FREE

A Parents Guide to Section 19 is a clear, compassionate resource for parents whose children are unable to attend school due to health, anxiety, or other complex needs. Written by psychotherapist Caroline Sutton, this guide explains what Section 19 of the Education Act means for your family, including your local authority’s legal duty to provide suitable education, what that education should look like, and when support should be put in place. Straightforward and jargon-free, it also covers what evidence can help move things forward and what to do if you feel your child’s needs are not being met. If you are feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure of where to turn, this guide will help you understand your rights and take the next step with confidence.
