THREAD 🧵 #homeed #guidance #consultation
Revised #homeeducation guidance will be published for consultation by @scotgoc today. We hope this long awaited update includes recomms from our #HomeTruths research & upholds children's #humanrights #dataprotection & #equalitylaw.
/1
Current version was issued 15 yrs ago and needs updated to reflect current legisation & key case law inc #namedperson judgment #GDPR & #EqualityAct2010.
#HomeTruths summary report & 16 evidenced recomms:
scothomeed.co.uk/wp-content/upl…
#homeducation #homeed #guidance #consultation
/2
We have raised concerns about policy exclusion of #homeeducation as #equalstatus option to schooling, esp when school-centric pandemic measures ignored needs of #homeed children & families.
MSP & third sector briefings here: scothomeed.co.uk/resources/brie…
#guidance #consultation
/7
Home educators have long been subject to discrimination, prejudice & #homeeduphobia for choosing an #equalstatus option but we have recently made good progress by engaging in constructive dialogue with @scotgov & LAs. There is much work still to do!
/8 END 🧵

Just some reminders of how #GIRFEC grifters have long been abusing children's rights, the rot having started in Highland

THREAD: So much wrong with this pre-paywall it's not worth reading. Cheryl doesn't #homeschool & doesn't mis-term #homeeducation #homeed (which is not 'excusing' from school, it's the default).

Last month we polled our most recently-joined members on their school vs. #homeed intentions post-lockdown. School lost the popular vote by a wide margin with only 8% definitely returning thier children.

Our membership has increased by nearly 600 since March. We have admission criteria and rules that prohibit the use of #homeschooling misterminology, which means we decline requests from those who believe we support the replicatation of schooling at home.

THREAD: We are beginning a #factchecking audit of websites that claim to offer info and advice on #homeed in Scotland. There are only two sites we would recommend that are accurate and up to date: our own scothomed.co.uk (of course!) & @HomeEdScotland
We've contacted @scotgov's mygov.scot repeatedly to correct errors/update #homeed content but no response. They can't even get terminology right & link to inactive/discredited orgs mygov.scot/home-schooling/ We expect better of govt sites than to mislead the public 👎
@HomeEdScotland has published a critique of the mygov.scot page here in the first of what will probably be an extended series 'Factchecking official #homeed sites' homeeducationscotland.org.uk/2020/08/05/fac…
