Home Education Advisory Service
HEAS is a national home education charity based in the United Kingdom. It is dedicated to the provision of advice and practical support for families who wish to educate their children at home in preference to sending them to school.
Interest in home education is increasing and HEAS recognises that reliable information should be available for everyone.
HEAS was established in 1995 by a group of experienced home educators in order to provide good quality information on both the legal and practical aspects of home education. Since then HEAS has given information to many families and also to education authorities, other professionals, academic researchers, politicians, voluntary agencies, the media and other bodies.

Home Education UK
Home education is a long established legal right in the UK.
While there are no official figures my research suggests that currently around 50,000 (0.5%) UK children of compulsory educational age are being home educated.
The website supports those families and inform others as to their legal rights and responsibilities.
