Suitability of education in the EHE population

M Stafford made this Freedom of Information request to Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council

The request was successful.

From: M Stafford

4 August 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

This Foi concerns children currently registered with the LA as
Electively Home Educated. These children are either de-registered
from a school or have never been registered with a school.

A) For how many of these children does the LA have concerns about
whether a 'suitable' education is being provided?

B) Please break this information down into the following
categories:
1. where there appears that no education is taking place?
2. where the philosophy of education is considered to be inadequate
-for example in the case of autonomous or child led learning, that
the particular child is not appearing to be learning enough?
3. where there are concerns because the family have not implemented
any structured?
4. where the fact that the national Curriculum is not being
followed is causing concern?

C) For children in any of the above 4 categories, are further steps
are being taken- for example, issuance of a School Attendance
Order?

D) Are any Education Supervision Orders currently issued or in
court for this population?

E) Has or would such concern about educational provision ever lead
to a referral to Social Services?

F) Is it possible that the The EHE Department is not aware that
Social Services are involved with a home educating family,
(especially if this involvement is on an on-going basis rather than
a one off referral which is found to be of no genuine concern)?

Yours faithfully,

M Stafford
