As outlined in our statutory guidance local authorities are responsible for ensuring that electively home educated children are in receipt of a suitable and efficient education. They should also be ready, if a lack of a suitable education appears likely to impair a child’s development, to fully exercise their safeguarding powers and duties to protect the child’s wellbeing.
The Welsh Government is providing local authorities with additional funding of £1.7 million a year, over a 3-year period to develop and provide support for home-educating families to enhance their learning and encourage greater access to universal services. This funding is unique to Wales.
