Dear Cheryl

Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002

Request for Information – Attendance Orders

I refer to your request for information dated 4 April 2023

The information you requested was:-

Please provide the details for:

 1. How many Attendance Orders have been served on Home Educated children
since 1/9/22?

 2. How many of those Attendance Orders were revoked?

 3. How many resulted in prosecution?

Response

Relative to the above, I am advised of the following:

We can advise that in Scottish legislation there is no provision for local
authorities to issue School Attendance Orders in relation to Home
Education, this is a term used in England under English legislation.
Please see the following link to Home Education guidance on the Scottish
Government website for further information: [1]2. Legislative position -
Home education guidance - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)

Therefore the response to all questions would be ‘0’ for the timeframe
requested as we do not hold this information, in terms of section 17(1)(b)
of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, this is formal notice
that this information is not recorded by Perth and Kinross Council.

You have a right to request a review of the Council’s decision. Click

this. If you remain dissatisfied after the Council has carried out its
review, you can appeal [3]online to the Scottish Information Commissioner

Dear Cheryl

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your email dated 25 April 2023, in
which you requested a review of the Council’s response to your recent FOI
request (our ref: ATI 2023 04 05 002).

The information you requested was –

How many Attendance Orders have been served on Home Educated children
since 1/9/22?

How many of those Attendance Orders were revoked?

How many resulted in prosecution?

You have requested a review of the Council’s response on the grounds that
you believe the response you received was inaccurate.  You state that the
request relates to attendance orders served on children who were known to
be home educated prior to concerns becoming known about the provision. 
Your request does not relate to school attendance orders, which the
response you received refers to.

Your request for review will be processed on behalf of Alan Taylor, the
Head of Corporate IT and Revenues, who is the Council’s FOI and EIRs
Review Officer.  Mr Taylor will issue the Council’s final decision by the
statutory deadline of 25 May 2023.

Yours sincerely
