Why Keeping Communication with the Local Authority in Writing Protects Home Educators One of the strongest pieces of advice we give families at Educational Freedom is simple: keep all communication with the Local Authority (LA) in writing. This is not about being difficult or uncooperative. It is about protecting your family, protecting other home educators, and safeguarding the legal position of home education itself. https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/the-importance-of-home-educators-keeping-communication-with-the-la-in-writing/
The CWS bill introduces the LA being able to decide what is in the best interests of your child, possibly over ruling yours decision. Share some of your examples of when professionals got it wrong. #homeed #homeeducationuk #educationalfreedom #homeeducate #homeeducation #stopthecwsbill
Interest‑led learning is one of the most powerful approaches in home education. When a child becomes fascinated by a topic — whether it’s dinosaurs, baking, coding, or mythology — they naturally pull in reading, research, problem‑solving, and critical thinking. It’s incredible how much they learn when they’re genuinely curious. Our role becomes more about guiding, resourcing, and encouraging rather than directing. If you’re exploring interest‑led learning or want ideas for supporting your child’s passions, we’ve gathered lots of inspiration and practical guidance on our website: www.educationalfreedom.org.uk It’s a great place to browse when you need a spark.
Why did we start believing that strangers in a classroom could teach our children better than the parents who love them? For millennia, the family was the “default setting” for human development. It’s time to stop looking at home education as an “alternative” and start seeing it for what it truly is: a return to our natural blueprint. Here is why we are rewilding the way our children learn - https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/rewilding-education-rediscovering-the-natural-blueprint-for-learning-through-home-education/
