Policies and procedures

Portsmouth City Council in line with current government recommendations have reviewed our policy on EHE. We believe it provides clear guidance for parents and reflects the current law and statutory guidance. In addition to this we have taken on board input from home educating parents.

It is important that all parties involved in EHE are aware of their roles, rights and responsibilities. Our policy is to ensure all guidelines are clear, transparent and easily accessible to parents.

All our procedures for dealing with home educating parents and children are equitable, clear, consistent, non-intrusive and timely, in order to provide a good foundation for the development of trusting relationships.

All our officers who deal with EHE are fully aware of our policy, government guidelines, and the law.
