Thank you for your request for information, which was received out of
office hours on Friday 18 September. For deadline purposes, it is
therefore recorded as being received on Monday 21 September 2009. I have
dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the

You requested:

Who initiated the call for supplementary evidence to support the
recommendations of Graham Badman's Report of the Review of Elective
Home Education?

In particular was it the author or the DCSF?

Whilst the Star Chamber has allowed it who within the department
recommended to the Star Chamber that is should proceed or asked
permission of the Star Chamber to initiate it?

Graham Badman initiated the call for supplementary evidence to support the
recommendations in his review. Penny Jones, Deputy Director, Independent

initiate the request.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please

You emailed on 17 October requesting an internal review on this request.
The Department normally considers requests for an internal review
