Petition Action

Don't introduce unique child identifier and increased home education regulation

Petition Details

We urge the government not to introduce a single unique identifier number for children and increased regulation of home education. We think its proposals would infringe on children’s privacy and parental rights, especially as elective home education is not in itself a safeguarding risk.

Additional Information

We urge the rejection of proposals in the Keeping Children Safe, Helping Families Thrive paper to introduce a single unique identifier for children and more regulation of home education. We think these measures would infringe on children’s privacy and family rights, even though the paper acknowledges elective home education isn't in itself a safeguarding risk. We think these measures would also increase needless monitoring and could infringe on family freedoms and children’s rights.
