Safeguarding Children who are Elective Home Educated - Guidance for Practitioners

DSP has published guidance to help and support practitioners across wider partner agencies in understanding the processes, pathways and powers held by Local Authorities in respect of Elective Home Education (EHE), given the significant increase in numbers of children who are EHE both locally and nationally. Ensuring the safety of all children and young people is in everyone’s interest and the sharing of information between local agencies is a vital part of this which may ultimately increase that line of sight on EHE children.
