Background
Mandatory registration would undermine trust, interfere with home educators, and ignore why parents choose home education: the right to educate freely without interference. This is a basic human right and parental responsibility, and it infringes upon British values of educational freedom and diversity. We understand that if a child requires social services, the government could intervene, but for mainstream families, we want no interference.
