- At the moment you do not have to tell anyone if you arrange for your own children’s education, but if your children have already started in school you will be expected to explain.
- If a school encourages you to home educate, they are breaking the law, especially if they say it’s an alternative to exclusion.
- Local authorities will not contribute to the cost of home education; they may give some advice and support if you ask. There are plenty of resources on-line to help parents to home educate.
- You child still has the right to go back into school if home education doesn’t work out.
