In the second group, Amendment 426D, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Wei, seeks to introduce a duty on local authorities to provide an annual return to the Secretary of State which would outline the size of each home-educated cohort, the number of complaints received from that cohort and the usage of school attendance orders. The Secretary of State would then be obliged to analyse that information and provide funding and resources to the top performers. That assessment would be made based on the rate of complaints and the number of orders issued as a percentage of the overall cohort.
