That this House acknowledges and celebrates the hard work of the many home educators in Britain who teach their children to an exceptionally high standard;
recognises the excellent value they represent to the Government;
notes with concern the conflation of welfare concerns with education issues in Government statements on home education;
further notes with concern the recommendations of the Badman Review which suggest closer monitoring of home educators, including a compulsory annual registration scheme and right of access to people's homes for local authority officials;
and calls on the Government to focus on its own ability to fulfil the Every Child Matters objectives rather than undermine the independence and integrity of home educators by enforcing the Badman recommendations.
