It gets worse in subsection (2) where there are 27 requirements on the local authority to provide information for the register. It gets even worse if you examine the Bill further. New Section 436D states that the information has to be provided within 15 days. New Section 436E says that any changes to that information have to be provided within 15 days. I am sorry that all this is complicated, but these are the complications in the Bill that I am complaining about. Under new Section 436E(8), if the home-schooling parent does not provide that information, they are subject to “a monetary penalty”. As the Bill is written, all this will apply to home-schooling parents who are busy teaching the child and should not be involved in this type of bureaucracy.
