EHE department - suitable education

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please can you confirm for me that you currently have 33 children
registered as Electively Home Educated for the year . For the
purposes of the remainder of this FOI request, these children are
either de-registered from a school or have never been registered
with a school.

A) I would like to know of these children how many are there where
the visiting person has concerns that a 'suitable' education is
being provided?

B) I would also appreciate if this information could be broken down
into categories:
1)whether they feel that no education is taking place? 2)whether
they feel that the philosophy of education is inadequate -for
example in the case of autonomous or child led learning, that
particular child does not appear to be learning 'enough'?
3) whether there are concerns because the family have not
implemented a structured approached?
4)or whether the fact that the national Curriculum is not being
followed is causing concern?

C)If there are children in the above 4 categories, please indicate
if further steps are being taken- for example, issuance of a School
Attendance Order?

D)Please also indicate if any Education Supervision Orders are
currently in court for this population.

E) Please can you confirm whether any children who fit into the
above categories of concern about 'educational provision
suitability' would also therefore be referred to Social Services?

F) Lastly is it possible in your Local Authority that Social
Services might be involved with a family but that The EHE
department do not know of this involvement (This involvement would
be on an on-going basis rather than a one off referral which is
found to be of no genuine concern.)

Yours faithfully,

S Lloyd
