CONSERVATIVE PARTY CONFERENCE 2021: The Lost Children of Lockdown
The pandemic has caused a surge of kids to vanish from the school roll. This event unpacked the issues surrounding elective home education, and asks what more can be done to better protect vulnerable children from being coercively removed from school. The New Minister for Children and Families, Will Quince MP, focused on the urgent need for better data and the importance of the promised register of home educated children.
