The regulations that are in force, from exam boards and the council for qualifications, and, on the human rights side of things, the way local authorities operate are not meshed well to deliver this. There is a lot of good will but no impetus. My suggestion to the Government is that the logical consequence of the Bill, where we are saying that we want home educators to reach a standard but we are then denying them the ability to do that in any sensible way, is that we put some impetus behind solving this problem. We will get there; it will not be hugely expensive, but it needs the Government to set the direction.
