On the noble Lord’s suggestion of collecting this information via annual reports, I know that some home educators provide detailed reports to their local authorities on the content of their child’s education, which will include details of providers they may be using. However, these reports are not legal requirements and, coming back to the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Crisp, local authorities have a duty to find out whether the education provided is suitable. Many do this by asking for an annual report but that is not a requirement of parents.
