| Abstract: |
With many thousands of home-educated children across the UK, the subject of support for the home-education community is widely debated. A report conducted by the NFER for the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation is based on detailed interviews with 20 home educators and presents findings on support needs. This Research Briefing illustrates some key findings and messages taken from the research. [Research for this report was sponsored by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation. For associated report, see ED502445.] |
