Home Education
Asked by: Lord Watson of Invergowrie (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 7th March 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the survey results published by Schools Week on 21 February which found that the rate at which children left the classroom for home education in 2022–23 showed a 12 per cent increase on 2021–22, with the biggest increases in some of the country’s most deprived areas. Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The department has collected termly data on home educated children from local authorities on a voluntary basis since October 2022. This collection has achieved a high response rate to date, and the department has received data from all local authorities in England. The aggregate-level data collected has helped the department to understand numbers of electively home-educated children on a local level. Analysis of the data is allowing the department to understand the drivers behind the rise in home education and to take action where the decision has been made for reasons other than providing a suitable education for children. This data is available at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/elective-home-education. It has been published up until the Autumn census day in October 2023. It is to be noted that the department’s data collection measures all children who are in home education, whereas Schools Week’s data measures only those who were previously enrolled at a school using a lower range of local authorities’ data as a sample. The government remains committed to legislation for a local authority registration system for children not in school. My hon. Fried, the Member for Meon Valley, introduced the Children Not in School (Registers, Support and Orders) Private Members’ Bill on 11 December 2023. The Bill’s Second Reading is scheduled for 15 March 2024. The government looks forward to working with her as she progresses her Bill. |

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Asked by: Lord Watson of Invergowrie (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 13th March 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to ratify imminently Optional Protocol 3 to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child relating to a communications procedure; and if not, why. Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Optional Protocol 3 has not, to date, been signed and ratified by the UK government. States are not required to sign up to the Optional Protocols when they ratify the UNCRC. The government believes effective domestic laws already exist where individuals can seek enforceable remedies if their rights have been breached. It is possible for an individual to challenge any government decision in the domestic courts if their rights have been breached, and this includes breaches of children’s rights under the UNCRC. |
