Dear Sir or Madam,

I made a Freedom of Information request on 7th October, which is now overdue a response.

The information requested is below:

On 17 September, Graham Badman via a DCSF email made a further call for evidence to Local Authorities regarding the Review/Report into Elective Home
Education.

I am requesting your response to that call.
