"I've read on one of the responses to Lord Lucas that only part of the C of E's Education Division's response was printed in the review, the rest which, I believe, is in favour of leaving in place the legislation that already exists for HE was NOT inluded. Are you able to obtain a response from the C of E about this. At the very least I think this apparent selective use of their opinion by GB needs highlighting on here, and to politicians involved, especially Ed Balls, and others giving their opinion - the NSPCC in particular. This review is anything but impartial, and is worrying if this is how policy is made in this country. Thanks."

"We have seen no evidence to show that the majority of home educated children do not achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes, and are therefore not convinced of the need to change the current system of monitoring the standard of home education. Where there are particular concerns about the children in a home-educating this should be a matter for Children’s Services."
