Clearly, it’s important that local authorities have enough people to work with home-educating parents and home-educated children. We will consider carefully if there are any further steps that will need to be taken. Regulation might be appropriate in the future, if necessary, in order to support home-educated learners, but our approach is to use this guidance to make sure that local authorities are able to get the clarity that they need to act swiftly where they feel that they have to. We will, of course, continue to work with the professionals in order for them to be able to work effectively with those families who do home educate.
