We want the Government to increase funding to local authorities so they can provide more funding to home-educated children. The funding should be conditional on parents submitting a clear education plan and providing regular updates to ensure this money is supporting the child’s learning.

Increase funding for learning support in schools
Teachers and children need Teacher Assistants and Learning Support Assistants. We believe without vital help and support; teaching and education may suffer, which could have a detrimental effect on all children - not just the children with additional needs.
Allocate share of per-pupil education funding to support home-educated children
We believe home-ed families should receive a share of per-pupil funding to support resources as home-ed children are entitled to a suitable education, yet families currently receive no direct funding, despite the state saving thousands of pounds when a child is educated outside the school system.
Increase Government funding for children’s homes & the young people living there
We would like the government to increase funding for children’s homes to ensure that the young people have the support they need to pay for things such as their food shopping, clothes, toiletries, phone bill, and anything else they need.
Provide more funding for children with SEN in schools
We want greater investment in schools/alternative provisions to make them accessible and inclusive for all.
Increase funding for Special Guardians and end the postcode lottery
We call on the Government to provide dedicated funding to councils so that financial support for Special Guardians is consistent across the UK and aligned with fostering allowances.
