The Role of the EHE Team

While we have no statutory duty to monitor the quality of provision, we do have to be satisfied that parents are offering suitable education, so you will be contacted by us for further information about the education you are providing.

More detailed information can be found in the DfE elective home education guidance for parents.

We have prepared some frequently asked questions and answers which you may find useful.

Gloucestershire County Council’s policy on Elective Home Education (which can be viewed below) has been updated in response to the publication of the revised guidance produced by the DfE in April 2019
