Summary

Fund each home-educated child £8,580 a year. If the state mandates registers and oversight via the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, we believe funding must follow the child. We save the taxpayer over a billion pounds each year; we deserve a fair share for exam fees and resources. Stop the unfunded mandate and support our children's right to learn. If the Government mandates registration and oversight via the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, we believe it must provide equitable funding. Home educators save the state over £1 billion annually, yet they personally bear all costs for exams and curricula. Under new "suitability" checks, families face increased administrative burdens without support. Funding should "follow the child," ensuring that those exercising their legal right to home educate have access to the resources they deserve.
