My DS is turning 5 soon and I'm home educating. I've received a letter from the job centre saying I need to go in for an interview so I'm assuming I'm going to have to go on job seekers?
I'm a single mum and decided to give up work to teach my son at home (at the time I was with his father who made a healthy wage so I was able to)
After we split I've been on benefits which fortunately covers my expenses (I didn't really have a choice, I did look for work but the amount I'd make was only going to cover childcare costs, I didn't think it was worth it - plus I felt really strongly about home ed and have paid my fair share of tax over the years!)
I'm rambling, anyway I'm now worried that I'm going to be forced to work and send my son to school as I belive the UK law states I have to work the same amount of hours that he attends school (30 hours) and there isn't any support from local authorities for home ed.
What can I do??
