Impact of proposed home education legislation
C. Blades made this Freedom of Information request to Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
The request was successful.
From: C. Blades
20 September 2009
Dear Sir or Madam,
In the wake of Graham Badman’s review of Elective Home Education,
the Government is planning to introduce legislation to register,
monitor and support home educated children.
It is clear that this legislation will have financial and staffing
impacts upon local authorities and yet the Government has made it
equally clear that no extra funding will be made available to local
councils to fulfil their new responsibilities.
In the light of the expected impact of this proposed legislation:
(a) Has it been formally discussed by the committees of elected
councillors responsible for education, children’s social care,
finance or any other relevant department?
(b) Has it been formally discussed by the officers responsible for
education, children’s social care, finance or any other relevant
department?
(c) Have the committees responsible for education, children’s
social care, finance or any other relevant department taken part in
the Government consultation into the proposed legislation, which
ends on 19 October 2009?
(d) Have the unelected local authority officers responsible for
education, children’s social care, finance or any other relevant
department taken part in the Government consultation into the
proposed legislation, which ends on 19 October 2009?
(e) If the councillors or officers have not taken part in the
consultation, are they planning to do so?
Yours faithfully,
C. Blades
