Consultation Events on Elective Home Education


The Welsh Government believe the current legislation surrounding elective home education has shortcomings because there is no legal requirement on the parent to tell a local authority that a child is receiving education at home.  Without this requirement, it is very difficult for local authorities to carry out their duties to ensure that all compulsory school age children in their area are receiving a suitable education.  

For these reasons we are proposing the introduction of a registration and monitoring scheme for home educated children. We want the scheme to promote a more supportive and constructive relationship between all home educating families and local authorities, with them working together to ensure children receive a suitable education.

A consultation seeking views on the proposals is currently open and responses are requested by 23 November 2012.  

In addition, a small number of facilitated events aimed at seeking the views of children and young people will be held on:

  • 18 October 2012 10:30 at Royal Welsh Showground, Powys
  • 26 October 2012 10:30 at All Nations Centre, Cardiff
  • 30 October 2012 10:30 at Conwy Business Centre, Conwy
These events are also open to adults.  Each event will last approximately two hour with light refreshments available on arrival.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n credu bod y ddeddfwriaeth gyfredol ynghylch addysg ddewisol yn y cartref yn ddiffygiol gan nad oes unrhyw ofyniad cyfreithiol ar y rhiant i ddweud wrth awdurdod lleol fod y plentyn yn derbyn gofal yn y cartref.  Heb y gofyniad hwn, mae'n anodd iawn i awdurdodau lleol gyflawni eu dyletswyddau i sicrhau bod plant oedran ysgol gorfodol yn eu hardal yn derbyn addysg briodol.  

Am y rhesymau hyn, rydym yn cynnig cyflwyno cynllun cofrestru a monitro ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn addysg yn y cartref. Rydym am i'r cynllun hyrwyddo perthynas fwy cefnogol ac adeiladol rhwng pob teulu sy'n rhoi addysg yn y cartref ac awdurdodau lleol er mwyn iddynt gydweithio i sicrhau bod plant yn cael addysg briodol.

Mae ymgynghoriad sy'n ceisio barn ar y cynigion yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd a gofynnir am ymatebion erbyn 23 Tachwedd 2012.

Yn ogystal, caiff nifer fechan o ddigwyddiadau  eu cynnal gyda'r nod o gael barn plant a phobl ifanc. Dyma'r manylion:

  • 18 Hydref 2012 10:30 ar Faes Sioe Frenhinol Cymru, Powys
  • 26 Hydref 2012 10:30 yng Nghanolfan yr Holl Genhedloedd, Caerdydd
  • 30 Hydref 2012 10:30 yng Nghanolfan Fusnes Conwy, Conwy

Bydd y digwyddiadau hyn hefyd yn agored i oedolion.  Bydd pob digwyddiad yn para tua dwy awr a bydd lluniaeth ysgafn ar gael wrth i chi gyrraedd.
