The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. What does this result mean, and what happens now?

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. What happens now for home educators?

These graphics with no simple explanation are confusing, what does it mean? The proposal in question was an opposition amendment to the Bill. However, most MPs voted against it, with the 'noes' prevailing. The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill has now passed its second reading, marking its next legislative step. The Bill will proceed through the remaining stages of the legislative process, a thorough and often lengthy undertaking. During these phases, it will be subject to detailed examination, allowing MPs to propose amendments, scrutinise its provisions, and discuss its specifics in-depth.

Home education and homeschooling groups need to take action.

Join the Home Education Action Group | Facebook to keep up to date with planned actions and the Bill.

The Home Ed Action website has up-to-date information and guidance for writing to your MP.

Suggested actions for now:

Petitions

There will be at least one petition—possibly several—to gather the broadest possible support. These will aim to engage a wide and diverse group of signatories, maximising impact and visibility.

Protest Event

A protest outside Parliament is highly likely. This will be planned strategically to ensure maximum attendance, with sufficient notice given to allow as many people as possible to participate.

Engaging MPs

The most critical action right now is to contact your MPs and urge them to support home educators.

Host a Meeting: Organise an event with fellow home educators and invite your MP to attend.
Collaborate: Consider teaming up with neighbouring constituencies for a joint event to amplify your reach.
Prepare Presentations: Create a compelling presentation to highlight key issues, and ensure children are present so MPs can meet and understand the community.
Face-to-Face Connection: The more MPs we can engage in person, the stronger our influence will be.
