Home Education
(asked on 2nd February 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to require parents to register if they are home educating children.
This question was answered on 16th February 2022
The government is committed to a form of local authority register for children not in school, which would require parents to register with local authorities should they want to home educate. Further details on this is in the Children Not In School consultation response, which was published on 3 February 2022, and is avaliable in the attached document. We hope to legislate on this measure at the next suitable opportunity.
