Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made in introducing a register for children not in school.
This question was answered on 28th January 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. The consultation closed in June 2019. Responses to the consultation have been considered and a formal government response document setting out next steps will be issued in due course.
