Milestones

Launch a review into education and safeguarding standards in non-mainstream full-time education settings in England, including homeschool groups and religious settings operating as schools.

We want the review to look into how to ensure these settings meet all statutory education standards, including inspections, safeguarding standards, and children attaining mainstream recognised qualifications, e.g. GCSEs. We want the Government to protect children from religious extremism. The Government should close any loopholes that allow settings to avoid following mainstream school standards, and ensure all children receive a suitable education and recognised qualifications.
