Sandwell 29/01/18
The team that tracks children missing education also monitors the progress of children not in full-time education to ensure that they receive good support and make progress. In common with most local authorities, Sandwell has seen a sharp increase in the number of parents who elect to home educate their children. Increasingly, effective work with these parents has resulted in a significant increase in the number of families who now engage with the local authority and cooperate in monitoring how well their children are progressing (from 30 out of 165 families in 2016, representing 235 children, to 130 out of 262 families in 2017, representing 318 children). The local authority knows the risk that parents may use unregistered settings to support their home education, and has built closer links with community and faith groups to explain its concerns to parents to try to minimise these risks

Buckinghamshire 29/01/18
Effective arrangements are in place to monitor both those children who are electively home educated and those who go missing from education. The local authority regularly updates thorough records. A home visitor carefully assesses educational and safeguarding arrangements for these children
