Comment: EHE register

John Pearce, ADCS President, said:

“We have long raised with government the need for a register that gives us a full understanding of the number of children who are being educated at home, locally and nationally. We understand the government remains committed to introducing a register of children not in school, however, it is disappointing that this has not been implemented yet. A register in and of itself will not keep children safe but it will help to establish how many children are being educated other than in school and to identify children who are vulnerable to harm, we hope that a register is introduced at the soonest possibility.”
