Written question asked by Lord Lucas (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) on Monday, 2 November 2009.


Education: Home Schooling

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will place in the Library of the House details of the evidence on which Mr Graham Badman based his statement that he is aware of 52 care plans in respect of home-educated children; and what is the equivalent figure and evidence in respect of substantial abuse or neglect.
Answer

On 9 October Mr Badman sent a report to Mr Barry Sheerman MP setting out a detailed local authority-level analysis of child protection plans relating to home-educated children. His letter of 28 October, also to Mr Sheerman, sets out further information relating to other information he collected in the course of the review about abuse and neglect. Both pieces of correspondence are on the department's website at http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/everychildmatters/ete/independentreviewofhomeeducation/irhomeeducation/.
