Inform the future of home education
Do you want to help inform the future of home education through your own…
Educational Freedom is a non-profit organisation providing Home Education information and support. Our primary purpose is ensuring all Home Educators have access to FREE information and support. We aim to provide everything you could ever need to know about Home Education.
A great way of ensuring your Home Education journey goes smoothly is to read all of this website. The menu at the top will help you navigate each section.
Making the decision to Home Educate can be daunting. But be assured that there is plenty of support out there! There are lots of families that have been in your situation, and we have supported tens of thousands of them.
Read through all of our website to learn all about Home Education. Use the menu to navigate through all of our pages especially the WHAT TO DO FIRST page for your country. Navigating through each page in turn really will help you understand everything you need to do. Then move on to the dealing with the LA section.
PLEASE NOTE: MOST PAGES SHOULD NOT BE READ AS A STAND ALONE PAGE, ENSURE YOU READ THE INFO IN OTHER MENTIONED PAGES TOO.
Where to find us after you've read our website.
These are articles and news updates, to be read as extra to the rest of our site.
Here’s a sneak peak at our public FB page feed where we share factual info as well as fun memes. Join our closed group for advice and to chat to other home educators.
What’s stopping you deregistering your child from school to home educate? Whatever it is please comment below so we can support you with your decision, we are known as the friendliest home education support organisation so you’re in the right place for help. And as always, you’ll find loads of really helpful info on our website (written, built and run by home educators) and the cherry on the cake is that we don’t charge, we don’t even ask for a membership fee.
If you are in England and have followed our deregistration process most people won’t have any issues, however some LAs do not like to follow correct procedure. If they or the school refuse head to our website for a template letter or come and let us know on our private facebook group and we'll help you with your next steps.
Do not believe it when people say your child has to be behind in years to get an EHCP. It is down to individual need. Point 6.1 of the Code of Practice states: All children and young people are entitled to an appropriate education, one that is appropriate to their needs, promotes high standards and the fulfilment of potential. This should enable them to: Achieve THEIR best! If you need help applying for an EHCP please head to the SEN section of out website!
We have many decades of hands on Home Education experience between us and many years as a professional support service.
Our team is made up of people from all walks of life, and all styles of Home Education.
We never have, nor will we ever, charge Home Educators a fee to access our website, personal support or anything else.

Our aim is that our website contains everything you should need to know.
