Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
My last point is that when that information is provided, against what is a judgment being made? If it is being sent to somebody like me, who has a very particular understanding of what education is like, or if it is somebody who already has a background in home education, our judgment will be different. I am not clear whether this is provide it so we have it or provide it and a judgment will be made about whether it is appropriate. If it is so that a judgment will be made, presumably by a local authority, what assurance can we have that it has sufficient understanding and experience to judge it not just against the criteria of what formal education usually constitutes?
