Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
The noble Lord, Lord Lucas, is smiling; I always value his contributions. The difference is that, if—as the noble Lord said—you hoick your child out of school, you can choose another school to take them to, but you cannot hoick a child out of home education. If the parents decide to home educate, the child must have it, whether they like it or not.
