My officials have worked with local authorities to develop and agree a package of support for Elected Home Educated families which includes access to a local examination centre.

Our guidance highlights that parents who choose to home-educate their children must be prepared to assume full financial responsibility, including bearing the cost of any public examinations. However, local authorities are encouraged to provide support where resources permit.

We have worked closely with local authorities to agree a wider package of support, which will afford consistency of offer from local authorities to EHE families and their children.

One of the aspects of this wider package of support was that each local authority identifies a venue where external candidates have the opportunity to sit examinations in a registered examination centre.

It will be for local authorities to determine the operational arrangements for each identified examination centre and families who have chosen to home educate are advised to contact their local Elective Home Education Officer for further information and discuss specific enquiries.
