Dear Ms Nicholson
Freedom of Information Request
Further to your request received on 7 February 2013 please see the response to
your questions below:
“Please could you tell me the amount spent on elective home
education services for the academic year 2011-12? I would be grateful if
you could itemise staff costs, administrative/secretarial support costs,
and also the total spend on provision of services for electively home
educated children and young people.”
Elective Home Education is part of a larger service provision titled Access and
Inclusion. It is not a stand alone provision and does not have identified budget
allocation for staff and support costs. Therefore it is not possible to provide the
itemised costs as requested. An indicative budget of £10K was provided to
support Elective Home Education in the academic year 2011-12.
Please treat this as a formal response under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (please see below for our review procedures if required).
Yours sincerely,
