The Wirral Attendance Manager introduced the report of the Director of Children, Families and Education. The report provided members of the Children, Young People and Education Committee with an overview of Elective Home Education within Wirral.

Members requested categorised information regarding reasons why children have been taken out of mainstream education. Officers advised that given the fact these numbers are small, they must be mindful not identify any children when sharing such information. Officers did offer to bring a comparative piece of work to members.

On a motion moved by the Chair, seconded by Councillor Chris Carubia, it was -

Resolved – That the development of the Electively Home Education of young people be noted and supported and a further report from the Attendance Service be recieved.
