After a consultation in 20181 which raised the prospect of government oversight of Sunday schools, the government published the results, a response and an action plan on its Integrated Communities Strategy on 9 February.

The consultation asked questions around out-of-school settings and education, which would include both church youth work and home education.

In its action plan, the government states: ‘We will finalise and publish revised guidance on home education, following the consultation on the drafts, which will explain clearly to both local authorities and parents what their respective rights and obligations are, including making clear to local authorities how they are able to tackle poor elective home education more effectively.’2
