Education is compulsory but school is not. Under the 1996 Education Act, parents have a responsibility to provide their children with a suitable education whether at school or otherwise. School does not suit all children or lifestyles. Parents choose home education for a number of reasons, the topmost of which is the desire to give their children a quality, individualised education that will equip them for their adult life in an ever-faster-changing world. This may all change. Parliament is currently debating a proposal for a new education bill. The New Schools Bill will also impose new requirements on Home educating parents. So how will this change your life and why should you be concerned?

In Episode 81 of the Raising Mums podcast, I share why home educators should be concerned about the New Schools Bill.

New Schools Bill and Home Education

The changes in the Schools Bill impact England, but not currently Wales and Scotland.

Local authorities must have a register of all children not in school. Every local authority is different and without strict guidelines, there is a risk that LAs will abuse their new powers.

Parents can be fined up to £1000-£2500 for failing to comply with new regulations

Local authorities must now provide support to home educators but no specifics have been given on what this will look like.

Instead of protecting home educators, these changes treat us as a problem that needs to be controlled. Many are concerned about what this will lead to.

No specifics are given on what information will be collected to assess if a “suitable education” is being provided by parents.

The Bill and amendments are currently being discussed in the House of Lords throughout June. Petitions against the Schools Bill by home educators are available to sign nationwide. The easiest way to find it is by searching on Facebook for the New Schools Bill and your consistency name.

Key Points:

All you have to do is take the next step. Allah will show you what to do after that.

Confusion is your brain’s way of protecting you from the unknown. You know what you need to do. Find the courage to do it.

Stop allowing your brain to worry about the future, and focus on the now.

Stop worrying about the way – just take the next step.

“The emaan (faith) of a person cannot be true until he has more trust in that which is in Allah’s Hands than that which is in his own hands.” – Ali ibn. Abi Talib (RA)
