VCSE Organisations Supporting Home Educated Children in Hull

Through the Sector Connect service and our attendance at safeguarding boards and other meetings, Forum has become aware of an increase in the number of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations who are supporting parents and families that are home educating their children.

We are interested in bringing some groups together to explore this, and to see:

• What the challenges, issues and opportunities are
• How we might work in partnership as a sector to ensure people get the help they need
• If VCSE organisations can work with schools/the local authority to provide stepping stones back into mainstream education where this is appropriate

If you work for a charity, community group or social enterprise and are working with parents or families in this way, or even if you’ve just been asked if you could run some activities or sessions for children who are not in school and want to understand more, please contact:

Pippa Robson, Deputy Chief Officer, Forum – 07791 040433 or email [email protected]

We will organise a meeting to discuss this further once we have an idea of who would like to be involved.
