Elective Home Education- suitable education

Dear Sir or Madam,

I read that you currently have just under 100 children registered
as Electively Home Educated.
Therefore for the purposes 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 it 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 is not appearing 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 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 are 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,

Tania Berlow

Dear Emily Baker,
I understand it has been a holiday period but could please respond
to my request as I have a deadline to meet for the Select Enquiry
Committee

Yours sincerely,

Tania Berlow

Dear Emma Hearton,

please could you categorise the reasons for the other 4 children as
you only gave a reason for one of them. As none of my categories
seem to fit, please could you explain how you categorise concerns.
many thanks

Yours sincerely,

Tania Berlow

Dear Emma Hearton,

I am so sorry but I seem to have missed something fromthe forst
response. IN the part where I ask about school attendance orders
this LA answered 'yes'. what I am looking for is number of
attendance orders actually issues this last academic year.

Yours sincerely,

Tania Berlow

Dear Emma Hearton,

yes that is what I am seeking- the number of school attendance
ordcers sought the past academic year as this will not be the same
as the concern rate.

Yours sincerely,

Tania Berlow
