IN DEPTH QUESTIONNAIRE- REVIEW OF ELECTIVE HOME EDUCATION

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

The DCSF have just released a list of the 25 LA's who took part in the in depth questionnaire which followed on form the 60 questionnaire for the Review of Elective Home Education.
Cheshire apparently answered but it is unclear now whether FOI requests should go to East or West Cheshire since the split.
I am asking both LA's just in case.
Therefore please supply the responses given by this LA to the in depth questionnaire.

Also it has been noted that Cheshire has 8 open cases of possible abuse /neglect in the EHE population.(full figures cna be found for all 152 LA's here-

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=r...

Can it now be confirmed whether these 8 cases were founded and substantiated or whether these cases were opened but after an initial involvement , social services found there was no case to follow up.

Yours faithfully,

Tania Berlow

Cheshire East Council

Dear FOI East,

this is not the correct questionnaire. This is actually the initial longer first questionnaire for the Badman Review and I am looking for the in depth follow on which had fewer questions and asked for exact figures. please supply this. I now have 2 copies of the initial and none of the follow on.

Yours sincerely,

Tania Berlow

Dear Ms Berlow

Further to your request I apologise for having sent the same questionnaire twice, however, on investigation it transpires the Council did not complete the second in-depth questionnaire to which you refer. Though the DCSF did have discussions with officers of the Council no formal response was submitted.

If you wish to discuss this matter further please feel free to contact me on the number below.

Yours sincerely
