Setting a Better Example

Despite the relatively benign Elective Home Education Guidelines which came out in Nov 2007, the majority of LA websites continue to make claims for powers which are over and beyond the law, particularly with regard to home visits and the absolute need for the LA both to know about HE provision and to be satisfied that an education is being provided. Darlington LA however is setting a better example. Other LAs would do well to follow it, as it would vastly improve relationships with their home education communities.

Wow! That is such a good, clear and informative list of questions and answers! Completely factual and non-judgemental. I would have been happy to read something like that when starting home education.
