NELC: Elective Home Education Surveys

Shared on behalf of NELC

Deadline: 07 March 2025

North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) would like to hear from families who home educate their children, or who are considering home education. Elective home education is when a parent or carer chooses to educate their child at home instead of sending them to school full-time.

The Council is keen to learn the reasons why families choose to home educate, as well as any personal experiences of transition to home education, what it is like and any plans for the future, whether that be continuing home education or something else to ensure the Council understands the entire journey of families who choose to home educate their children.

They would like to hear from both parents and carers, and children and young people too. 

If you have any questions or would prefer to feedback in a different way, please email consultation@nelincs.gov.uk
