Reform home schooling policy to make it fit for purpose post-pandemic, with equality for all children regardless of where they are educated.
This should include providing term-time food vouchers for low income families equivalent to free school meals, and provide financial assistance for resources. 

During the pandemic a Government u-turn led to school children receiving school meal options when at home during lockdown. Children who are home schooled did not receive this regardless if coming from a low income family or parents subjected to furlough. This demonstrates a form of inequality for families with home schooled children. Parents of home schooled children face additional pressures to those whose children remain in mainstream education.
Exam fees should not be the burden of the parents, or carers.  GCSE and A level costs are a huge expense to low income parents homeschooling their children.  Many children are homeschooling because the education system has let them down in one way or another,  and there is no other option for them.  Children who are home schooled,  and their parents deserve the same help and support as any school child.  Please sign this petition to be sure this happens.
