The National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) was established in 2002 under the Education (Welfare) Act 2000 and has a statutory function to ensure that every child either attends a school or otherwise receives an education. The Board also has responsibility for children who are being educated outside of schools (e.g. at home) and 16-17 year olds who leave school to take up employment. You must register your child with the NEWB if you are proposing to home school. Click on "Your Guide to Home Education" button or choose the "Parent/Guardian" section for more information. Their links section is particularly comprehensive.
