Elective Home Education guidance review

Overview

We are seeking views on proposed changes to the non-statutory elective home education guidance for local authorities and parents.

Why your views matter

This consultation seeks views on revised versions of the non-statutory elective home education (EHE) guidance for local authorities and parents.

The EHE guidance was last updated in 2019 and is due for review. Both sets of guidance are a vital resource for parents and local authorities to help them understand their roles and legal responsibilities around EHE. 

The changes made aim to help parents and local authorities better understand what they are required to do to ensure all children receive a suitable education.

We value and welcome the input of all those interested in the updated EHE guidance, such as local authorities, home educating parents, schools, out-of-school settings, and charities.
