Hello Carly
The most useful websites to start with imho are;
www.education-otherwise.org/ The website of the largest HE organisation.

or if you live in Scotland (where the law is slightly different)
www.schoolhouse.org.uk/

home-education.org.uk/ -Brilliant (imho) independent website.

www.he-special.org.uk/index.php -For families who home educate children with special educational needs.

www.muddlepuddle.co.uk/ A website especially for parents who home educate children young children up to around the age of 8.

The above websites all have links to relevant home education internet support groups, where you can get valuable support and information about home education in the UK from the real experts, the people who do it, home educators themselves.

home-ed.info/ is the other independent website that I would recommend.

Together all of these websites will lead you to everything you need to know about home education in the UK. All sorts of resources and information can be obtained for little cost from the internet.

Then there is
www.infed.org/biblio/home-education.htm -an article that compares ?formal? and ?informal? home education styles written by a Dr Alan Thomas.

Is there anything specifically that you need to know?
Whereabouts do you live? Maybe we can point you in the direction of local HE groups?

hope that helps
