In the new draft home education guidance all the investigation and weighing up of evidence has been brought forward to the informal enquiries stage as part of a detailed “assessment of suitability”. The consultation asks a number of questions about this. I have created 2 new web pages to assist with your response https://edyourself.org/informal-process-in-new-guidance/ + https://edyourself.org/formal-process-in-new-guidance/ The Starting Page for the consultation with links to all documents and all the consultation pages on my site is here https://edyourself.org/2023-consultation-revised-ehe-guidance/ CLOSES 18.1.24.
