This
petition was submitted by Wendy Charles-Warner having collected a total of
5,447 signatures.
Text of Petition
We call upon the National
Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to withdraw the proposed
guidance for home education.
Additional Information
The Welsh Assembly
Government has issued prospective guidance for home education. This mandates
that home educating parents must meet with their local authority and allow
their children to be interviewed by the local authority. We have received
specialist legal advice which claims that the guidance is unlawful and
petitioners ask that the guidance be withdrawn to be reconsidered in light of
that advice.
