Elective Home Education Policy

Elective home education is the term used when a parent(s) choose to provide education for their child(ren) at home instead of sending them to school.  It is acknowledged that elective home education is a parental choice and that there are many approaches to educational provision and what is suitable for one child may not be for another.

This policy sets out the respective legal responsibilities of the parent(s) and the local authority in relation to elective home education. It recognises the importance of developing mutual trust and respect between the Local Authority and the home educating parent(s), working together in order to ensure the best outcomes for each child.
