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.
Families across England have spent years trying to explain to policymakers what home education actually looks like on the ground. We now have something powerful: a detailed list of Local Authority portfolios and training approaches, showing the huge variation in practice and the real impact this has on families. If you’d like your MP to understand the situation clearly please forward the LA portfolios and training list to them. A short message from a constituent can make a genuine difference in whether decision‑makers see the full picture. This isn’t about party politics. It’s about ensuring that any future policy is informed, proportionate, and grounded in evidence rather than assumptions. Your voice helps make that happen. You can find the portfolios under the England - Dealing with the LA tab on the Educational Freedom website.
We are so lucky in the UK to have access to libraries! Of course literacy & reading can also include ear reading as well as eye reading! So share! What are your favourite books or podcast in your household? We love Evil Genius history podcast and loving Terry Pratchett at the moment! #learningfromhome #homeedplanning #homeeducationlife #homeedplanning #educationalfreedomrocks #homelearning #learningathome #homeeducate #homeeducationadvice #homeeducatingfamily
Have you ever wondered what your England LA is like overall? Our brand new LA portfolios tell all. The good, the bad, and the what on earth are they thinking! Does your experience match the portfolio? We welcome your comments, and we have invited LAs to publish their comments too. We want these to be truly representative, so make sure to fill in the survey linked on the portfolio page of the 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.
However, we do have costs such as web hosting, so feel free to donate.
Our aim is that our website contains everything you should need to know.
Beyond that we have a Facebook Page where you can connect with other Home Educators and our amazing admin team. We also have the option to contact us, for those times where you don’t have Facebook.
