HOME EDUCATION AND THE BADMAN REVIEW

That this House acknowledges and
celebrates the hard work of the many home educators in
Britain who teach their children to an exceptionally high
standard; recognises the excellent value they represent to
the Government; notes with concern the conflation of
welfare concerns with education issues in Government
statements on home education; further notes with concern
the recommendations of the Badman Review which suggest
closer monitoring of home educators, including a compulsory
annual registration scheme and right of access to people's
homes for local authority officials; and calls on the
Government to focus on its own ability to fulfil the Every
Child Matters objectives rather than undermine the
independence and integrity of home educators by enforcing
the Badman recommendations.
