PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Alternative Education: Codes of Practice (18 April 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will reassess the potential merits of requiring a code of practice for schools which operate outside mainstream education.

Asked by:
Sarah Champion (Labour)

Answer

On 14 March, as part of the government’s Integrated Communities Strategy, we announced our intention to consult on a voluntary code of practice for out-of-school settings providers. This will set out clear standards and expectations for providers, which would include those providers operating schools outside of mainstream education, such as part-time or supplementary schools. We will invite views on the code of practice later this year.
