It had to happen. Whitehall has put forward proposals for compulsory registration of home education in a new public consultation. It also proposes to take a much more litigious approach with early court action for parents who refuse to supply information to local authorities on demand:
Home Education – Call for Evidence and revised DfE guidance
There has been a quick response from campaigners:
Parents hit out at plans to increase oversight of home education
Neil Taylor responds to the DfE’s latest assault on freedom in education
The consultation runs until 2 July and is a lengthy read.
My own opinion is that the Government will back down if there is a really strong response from home educators. If not - then expect to be regulated and inspected with all that entails.
