Home School Education Registration and Support Bill [HL]

This bill establishes a mandatory registration system for homeeducated children in the UK, requiring parents to notify local authorities of their intention to educate children at home and submit to regular monitoring. It aims to ensure homeschooled children receive adequate education and safeguarding oversight, similar to what schools provide. The bill also creates statutory duties for local authorities to support home educators with resources and guidance, and establishes minimum educational standards that must be met. It represents a significant shift toward greater state oversight of home education, which currently operates with minimal regulatory requirements.
