LA response to EHE guidelines consultation
(closed July 31st 2007.)
One: erm... where did I put my hat?
In response to a freedom of information request from a Cornwall resident the council replied:
"... Unfortunately we do not hold any information regarding Elective Home Education Guidelines. The Council did respond to the DCfS, but used their on-line reporting system and no copy was kept.
We sincerely regret ..."
Ever had one of those maddening moments?
Cornwall know they said something.
They just don't know what that something was!
While we regret this Altzheimer's hiccup on the part of Cornwall County Council and hope it is not a recurring incidence that Cornwall do not know what they are saying, we feel we ought to point out that this is extremeley bad practice and might be a failure of duty. Just in case anyone might think it a good idea.
Oh - to answer the question... On your head. Probably. Or in the case of Cornwall, down the back of a filing cabinet/in the memory hole!
Lets hope DCSF can help Cornwall to find out what it was they said ... watch this space! One of our intrepid and determined detectors is on the case!
