Re: - Request for Information *** Report into Home Education - Reference
Number: CHS/7WSBJT
Thank you for your request for information, which was received by
Manchester City Council on 8 October 2009 and has been considered under
the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoIA).
I apologise for the delay in responding to your request.

I set out below your request for information and the Council***s response
to this request:

Please supply the Local Authority response to Graham Badman***s call on 17
September 2009 for further evidence regarding the Report into Home
Education.

In response to your request, I attach copy documentation that was
submitted by Manchester City Council to the Department of Children Schools
and Families (DCSF).

When data is run from our database system the pupil numbers are calculated
from the children currently registered as Electively Home Educated (EHE),
we will not see children that were EHE on a historical date or period if
they have subsequently been deregistered.
This information may be subject to copyright. Freedom of Information does
not give you an automatic right to re-use this information in a way that
would infringe copyright, for example, by publishing the information or
making multiple copies.

In addition, I would advise you that the DCSF has collated and analysed
the data that it has received from individual local authorities and
published the results at the attached web address:

internal review. If you wish to complain you should contact Lynn Evans,
Information Compliance Officer (information-compliance @manchester.gov.uk)
in the first instance. Your complaint will be considered by a senior
officer who has not already been involved with this response. If you
require more information about the Council***s access to information
complaints procedure this can be downloaded directly from:

Alternatively, if you prefer a paper copy, please let me know.

If you remain dissatisfied after an internal review has been undertaken,
you have a right to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
The Information Commissioner will normally expect you to exhaust our
complaints machinery before considering your complaint.

Dear S Tyler

Thank you for your email.

The number involved is so small that there would be a risk of individuals
