How to find other home educators

[Julienoshoes]

We keep posting this information, so I thought I'd make a topic that we can bump up when it falls down the list (but not every half hour, please).

If you join Education Otherwise (£25pa), you will receive a national contact list, divided by county. On the web they have lists of:

• local groups
• Internet lists

Home Education UK has similar but not identical information:

• local groups
• Internet lists

EHEers here will provide advice but these threads often get hijacked. We recommend that you try to meet local EHEers. They know about meetings in your area and can give more specific advice on your LA. They will also help you to see that EHEers are normal people doing their best, for their kids, just like you. You'll also see that people are successfully EHEing kids right across the range from SEN to prodigy and with all sorts or issues.

There seems to be a lot of new people about, who are thinking of home educating.
I'm dashing out now but bumping this and other hopefully useful threads

Hi, have looked on EO etc and can't find a HE group in Chester. Is there anyone in Chester home educating? Would love to chat if there is...

I'm in the North East (washington) but also spend time in the North West (preston) with a three yo and a six month old. Is anyone on her from round me (either NE or NW)

Hi, to Remind me, I'm in Salisbury and also want to find a home education group. Did you have any luck finding a group in town? I'm not too sure about how these postings work. But if you do see this, could you please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks so much

Salisburymum2, I've just reported your post as you have given your email address. The usual thing is to ask people to PM you, in order to keep some privacy.

There are definitely groups in Salisbury.
