You and your child can access the same support from the School Health Service as children who are in mainstream education. Find out more about the services your child can access and how to contact the School Health Service in our ‘Support for your family’ section.

As a home educating parent, you can access our resources hub for guidance on how to teach your child about contraception, sexually transmitted infections, consent and relationships.

For families who might need additional support

Kent School Health offers one-to-one support based on your child’s unique needs. Visit our special educational needs or neurodivergence pages for more information on the support available for you and your child.
