Home Education

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of provisions in the Schools Bill on home education.

Answer

The department has completed all relevant and required impact assessment for the Schools Bill.

The children not in school measures, which are those most likely to impact home educating families, have been subject to a thorough Equalities Impact Assessment. This considers the impact on families with different protected characteristics. The measures have also been subject to a regulatory impact assessment, which looks at the impact measures will have on businesses and charities. A summary of these impact assessments has been published online as part of the Schools Bill impact assessment document.
