DCSF Home Education Review 2009 response

Dear Sir or Madam,

I request complete copies of the responses made by the Council to
the questionnaires linked to the current DCSF review of Home
Education. There were two such questionnaires: one of six questions
open to all respondents; the second was sixty questions, and sent
only to local education authorities.

I would like to see the full answers given to both questionnaires,
and also to know the name(s) and position(s) of the person or
people who responded to the questionnaires on the council's behalf.

Yours faithfully,

Stephen Mckie

Dear Ms Corrin,

I offer my thanks for speedy reply.

It is a shame that no copy of the review response has been held by
the Wirral council as the answers provided would have been useful
in understanding the councils view on home education. My
understanding of the review is that a summary will be supplied to
the public, not the detailed responses. Sadly the information
provided on the council website about home education is limited to
say the least.

I am eager to learn more - As Mr Clarke filled out the review
response do you think he would be willing to entertain some
questions I have? If not, do you know of anyone else who would be
willing to assist me in broadening my knowledge?

Once again, many thanks for your assistance thus far,

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Mckie

Dear Ms Corrin,

further to my last reply - having delved a little into other
council responses, I have been made aware that other councils have
requested a copy of the review from the DCSF, in order to assist
local residents with their questions.

Would Wirral council be willing to do the same?

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Mckie

Dear Ms Corrin,

your efforts in asking for a copy of the review are very much
appreciated. Would you be able to contact me when a reply from the
DCSF if forthcoming?

Also, I note that the council offers a complaints system, but not a
thanks system. Is there one where I might be able to express my
thanks once my FOI request has been concluded.

warmest regards,
Stephen Mckie

Dear Ms Corrin,

in your last correspondence you explained that Wirral Council have
asked for a copy the DCSF Home Education Review 2009 response.

Can you confirm whether that request was rejected or are you now in
a position to supply the review response?

I understand that the Badman review is imminently due, but I still
request Wirral's individual response.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Mckie

Dear InfoMgr, FinDMT,

unfortunately no, your email did not help me. Reviewing previous
emails I see where the confusion has arisen.

For clarity, I shall repeat my request as I see it;

Has Wirral council received a copy of Wirral Councils response to
the DCSF Home Education Review 2009?

If not, would you be willing, as other councils have done, to
request that copy from the DCSF?

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Mckie
