What about Special needs ?

Children with special needs benefit greatly by being home educated. Their learning is met without being held up with red tape, meetings, assessments, tribunals, court cases and time periods, which lends its weight in stress to every parent.

Working one to one with children gives them the immediate response and attention that they need, there is no waiting around, so no time is lost. Having a loving parent on hand, building on a child's self-esteem. Who could ask for more?

More and more children are affected by food; this has been proven by Jamie Oliver's Feed Me Better campaign. Thousands of parents watched his documentary series Jamie's School Dinners and subsequently Jamie's Return to School Dinners, which highlighted the point.  Parents are proven to give good nutritional content to their children's diet. Home education gives parents an advantage as there is more time and consideration in creating a diet that is best suited to their children, helping 100% with children's concentration and growth.

It has been proven for a long time that learning always starts from the home. Having a “one-to-one” experience with parents from birth increases children's natural learning style. Children develop at a steady and consistent rate, fulfilling their own personal achievement that continues throughout their whole lives, where they learn when they need to without having to be compared or to compete with others. This is what all parents strive for, individualism that builds self-esteem and helps a child develop with self worth. This expands into team building, appreciating good relationships, making good long lasting bonds between family members, friends and associates.

There is at times a lesser need for external intervention and more of an holistic approach, and if parents are in any need of external advice, it can be easily found if warranted.

If a child has a Special Needs statement, and is in a special needs school, then permission should to be sought after before de-registering. This will on whole be granted, as the child's interests and the parent's wishes are always taken into account.
