Nice to see where Number 10's website placed the home education initiatives unveiled as part of the Children's, Schools and Families Bill. Home education is mentioned under the heading "Safeguarding the Vulnerable" and in the same breath as intervening in failing Youth Offending Teams.

Which just goes to show where within society the government places elective home educators - alongside NEETS, ASBOs, and young offenders. Funny that, considering I've yet to encounter a single home educated young person with an ASBO or a criminal record, yet schools seem to have a regular proportion of pupils who drop into this category.
