Religion

A parent has the right to choose which religion (or none at all) a child or young person will follow at home and at school, although a child or young person may choose her/his religion if s/he has sufficient understanding.

However, if a parent considers the religion to be harmful, s/he can ask a court to intervene.

There is a general requirement on schools to provide religious education, but it may be possible for a child or young person to avoid this.
