Parents home educating their children in the city, say they have received a letter from Bristol City Council with new guidance from this September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A national page dedicated to home educators across the country, alerted followers to the letter which they say reads like the Children\u2019s Wellbeing and Schools Bill has already passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The page creators say it is a document that should ‘alarm every single one of us.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also say: ‘Bristol has historically been seen as one of the more supportive local authorities. Yet even here, this \u201cheads up\u201d letter sets out expectations far beyond current law. It\u2019s a glimpse of what life under the Bill would look like for all families if it passes.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding: ‘Bristol has historically been seen as one of the more supportive local authorities. Yet even here, this \u201cheads up\u201d letter sets out expectations far beyond current law. It\u2019s a glimpse of what life under the Bill would look like for all families if it passes’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the bill was announced last year, it has caused concern within the home educating community – particularly with parents whose children have Special Educational Needs or Disability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has also been national action. In July this year, families took to streets across the country to ‘Stop the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill Protest’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families protesting came to Bristol to walk through the city centre calling for the bill to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
