As we also discussed last week, we will consider how best to facilitate the sharing of best practice across local authorities from a central position, using the improved data that the department will hold following the implementation of the children not in school registers. We talked about both where there is good practice in local authorities and how we can share it, and the action taken already by the department where local authorities’ action with respect to home-educating parents is disproportionate, or not based on the trusting relationship to which noble Lords have alluded again today.
