PARENTS’ DECLARATION
WE DECLARE our independent status and affirm our responsibility for the upbringing and education of our children in accordance with our lawful rights and natural justice.
WE ASSERT our right to choose the place, form and content of the educational provision for our children in accordance with the following:
The parent of every child of compulsory school age shall cause him to receive efficient full-time education suitable—
(a)to his age, ability and aptitude, and
(b)to any special educational needs he may have,
either by regular attendance at school or otherwise.
(Section 7 of theEducation Act 1996)
In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions.
(Protocol 1 Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights)
WE WILL protect the rights of our children to own their own lives, to privacy and freedom from undue official interference in accordance with the following rights:
The right to respect for a private and family life, home and correspondence
(Human Rights Act 1998)
the right to be free from “arbitrary or unlawful interference with [their] privacy, family, home or correspondence” and from “unlawful attacks on [their] honour and reputation”
(Article 16 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child)
WE DEMAND that state officials remain within the bounds of the powers already conferred upon them under current law in their dealings with us, the people.
WE WILL UPHOLD AND DEFEND the above principles without fear or favour where the state forgets its legitimate function, oversteps its bounds or seeks to exert undue influence or power over our lives and those of our children against our traditional freedoms and natural justice.
