The government recently refused to help home ed families get better local access to sit exams. With extra cost and bureaucracy in the CSW Bill linked to home ed & Budget cuts, will more schools/centres be forced to deny families/children this basic right?

"Buried inside the Children’s [...] Bill lies the blueprint for Starmer’s surveillance state. [It] convert[s] every child’s NHS number into a digital tag linking their school records, medical[...]and family details into one government-controlled network"

I don’t get this concept of us parents being ‘out of pocket’ by giving our own children breakfast.
Isn’t feeding our own kids a basic premise of parenting responsibility, why would any parent regard themselves ‘out of pocket’ for doing so🤔

IMPORTANT! There's currently no checks and balances to protect families from ultra vires LA behaviour. If this Bill becomes law, there still won't but stakes will be higher with prison if home ed families don't comply with bullying LAs

It's time to pause and reflect on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, contravenes ECHR Article 14 according to KC Aiden O'Neill.

It is a matter of historic record that when Parliament passed the Education Act of 1944, it deliberately safeguarded the right of parents — not the state — to determine their children’s education, as a bulwark against totalitarianism. (4/5) @LabourList

Agreed.
We must be so careful in commodifying children as assets, eroding the importance of childhood in and of itself, not as a hothouse for a future we can neither predict nor control.
Parents feel it deeply. Children and teens need the chance to be present, to explore, develop, experiment, fail, evolve, play, think, rest, thrive.
EYFS is not about school readiness. School readiness is not about industrialised employment. It’s about so much more.
When we only focus on the destination, we lose sight of the value and importance of the journey itself.

I believe that home educators are at the cutting edge of understanding how children learn, and the power of self-directed learning. Find out more at Learn Free Home Educators Conference, coming up next week! learnfree.org.uk/

Yes and it's not just parliament, the media also spreads plenty of inaccurate hysteria and myths about #homeeducation. If there was less gaslighting, scaremongering and lying about our families then perhaps the focus could shift to children out there who are genuinely vulnerable

Spoke to a lady today locally who was raising funds for the school to acquire outside space. I told her about #schoolsbill, in it's original format, it would have prevented that. Requiring DfE approval! #stoptheschoolsbill not to mention the rest of the list of restrictions.

Here's hoping @michelledonelan takes a long hard look at the #SchoolsBill and throws it definitively in the bin. A most un-Conservative piece of legislation, advancing a Nanny State.

Can someone please point me in the direction of evidence that shows home education is in fact a safeguarding issue and should be treated as so? @BorisJohnson @Keir_Starmer @OliverDowden @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords

This thread explains why home educators are against a register and the monitoring it will bring. We are the first line of defence before this meddling in family life spreads further. #FairHearing4HomeEd

It's concerning that despite evidence given, the ed committee @halfon4harlowMP persists in bias and stereotyping. The assumption that children need help with "skills" like socialisation.... tut tut, that's been disproven countless times. @ApsanaBegumMP @PutneyFleur
