16. Elective Home Education (EHE) and Safeguarding • Elective Home Education (EHE) is the official term used where a family chooses to • educate their child(ren) at home instead of sending them to a school or other provision. • Children are not on a school or alternative provision roll. • Anyone can choose to home educate their child(ren) at any stage during statutory school age. A parent does not need permission to home educate (unless the child is on roll at a special school). • A parent can choose whether or not to engage with the Local Authority. • Home visits are only at the invitation of the parent (currently approx 15%). • In many cases children may never be seen or even known to the Local Authority (never been to school). • There are currently 175 children and young people being home educated known to the Local Authority.

17. Complex Cases and Safeguarding • 79 children and young people known to Social Care (45.1%). • In the last 2015/16 academic year, 3 of the CYP taken into Local Authority care. • Recent child death within an EHE family (resulting in a serious case review) • Frequent and increasing attendance at Initial Child Protection Conferences resulting in Child Protection Plans • It is important to note that although the EHE team work within the law, • they do push the boundaries as appropriate in order to keep children • safe. The safeguarding practices within the EHE team are recognised • as ‘good’ by Ofsted in the last safeguarding inspection.

18. Responsibility of all schools • Legally, as soon as a parent mentions an intention to home educate to the school, school must contact the Local Authority EHE Department (0115 8764693) and NOT wait for written notification (known as the deregistration letter) from the parent • If there have been any safeguarding concerns/referrals (current or historical) the DSL should contact social care immediately as well as sharing this information with EHE Dept. • DSL/senior leader to encourage and engage in a three-way meeting between school, family and the EHE Dept to ensure best outcome for the Child/Young Person.

24. Examples of support

25. Case Study – overt support in a secondary school • The contents of the Encompass call were that in the early hours of the morning there had been an incident between mother and father. Mother had been arrested for alleged assault on father. Mother was released from custody prior to three children leaving for school. The early call gave the Key Adult time to establish that the student was year 11 and was due to be sitting an exam that morning. • On arrival to the school the student was approached by the Key Adult and asked how she was feeling about the exam and that we had been made aware of an incident at home. • The student was given the option of taking some time out, having something to eat and • sitting her exam in a quiet space in isolation. The student made the choice after having • something to eat, to sit the exam despite having had very little sleep the night before. • The student achieved her grade. However, in the event that student had not been successful and with the information provided by Encompass the school could have applied for exceptional circumstances to the exam board.

26. Case Study – silent support in an Primary School (KS1) • The encompass call stated that there had been an argument between mother and her partner the previous evening. The Key Adult spoke to his class teacher who was then prepared if the reception child behaved differently that day. • The child arrived at the classroom, with his mother, clutching his bear. His class teacher would normally have either asked him to put the bear in a safe place in the classroom or asked him if he wanted mum to take it home so that he would be safe. She did neither - understanding that his bear had been brought for a reason. • He kept it with him all day. His class teacher quietly supported him throughout the day, working next to him and just letting him know that she was there. • Nobody made any comment about him hugging his bear through the day. It was just enough to get him through to home time.
