Email from individual regarding the Legislative Consent: Children’s Wellbeing and Schools

I write to express my concern with the CWS bill in it's current format.

I have a great many issues with the proposed bill that range from the need for a compulsory register for home educated children, to names of others helping home educate children and the hours spent in education. The last two points show just how little the bill understands home education. This is scary given the lack of appeal process/oversight/complaints procedure/tribunal with this bill. Are officers of the local council always correct? No, they are not, they are human and fallable but there is no comeback on this bill for them

I believe it is in the interest of all involved to consult properly with home educators and children, I believe there needs to be an appeal process and I think that any register is uneccessary (kids that the system is aware of come to harm too, therefore the fact that the system is aware of them or not makes no difference).

I believe that this bill is not fit for purpose.
