- The service aims to provide the learners with an educational experience despite their absence from school.
- It also aims to support learners reintegrate in school at the appropriate time.
Students are eligible for the service if:
- They have been diagnosed as being chronically ill (but not contagious) and are unable to attend school;
- They have a medical condition which requires them to be absent from school for a period of not less than four weeks;
- They are recovering from a surgical intervention, fractures or an accident.
The application form, together with the statement of consent signed by parents/guardians and relevant medical certificates are sent by the school.
The duration of the service depends on the nature of the referral.
