How do you get permission to let your child do homeschooling? Mine is about to go into college.

[@Gogetemscoobie]

You just write them a letter saying that you want yohr child to be deregistered in order to home school

[@Hxnona]

@@Gogetemscoobieand then what? Do you have to inform the council?

[@homeeducatewithhayley]

if your child is already in school (mainstream English school) you do not need permission to home educate. You simply de register your child from school and begin. It’s an instruction not a request. In Scotland it works a little different and also in special schools.

[@homeeducatewithhayley]

@@Hxnonano, it’s the schools responsibility to contact the local authority. Once you have de registered you have for filled your legal obligations. If your child has never been to school you don’t need to inform anyone as home education is the legal default option in the UK.
