the Independent review of Home Education recently conducted by Graham

Please also supply any official reply made to the open consultation that
was hosted at the DCSF's e-consultation site.

Please find herewith the following:

The other response was designed on a DCSF template and was not able to be
saved but the comment content was taken from the above document.

Whilst we have undertaken a thorough search of the information held by
Birmingham City Council, it may be that, due to the size and amount of
information held by Birmingham City Council, some information may have been
inadvertently missed.

If you have any information which may assist us in determining or locating
any missed information, we would be grateful if you would contact us with
details of this information, so that we can conduct a further search.

If you are not satisfied with the response you may ask for an internal
review. If subsequently you are not satisfied with the Council’s decision
you may apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I find it hard to believe that no copy of the response was kept or
that it was formulated from scratch. I therefore request a copy of
any print out of the response or any draft documents or figures
which were used to formulate the response.

Yours sincerely,

Lynn Daley
