Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they plan to publish a response to the consultation on children not in school, which closed on 24 June 2019.
This question was answered on 6th March 2020
In the spring of 2019, a consultation was held on proposals for a mandatory register of children not attending state or registered independent schools to help local authorities carry out their responsibilities in relation to children not in school.
Almost 5000 responses were received to the consultation which closed in June 2019. They have now been considered and a formal government response document setting out next steps will be issued in due course.
