Appendix 1 - Procedure for de-registering from mainstream school

Parents and / or carers should inform the school in writing of their intention to de-register to EHE. 

School removes child(ren) from roll, completes school exit form and sends both to EHE Service. 

Local authority contacts parents to ensure they have made a fully informed decision to EHE 

If the parent decides they did not want EHE

  • Local Authority, refer case to admissions service to ensure child is reinstated or new place is arranged 

If the parent confirms EHE, completes record of information, providing evidence of suitable education:

  • Parent requests no further contact (will contact EHE Team if required)
    • EHE Service will periodically contact parents to ensure circumstances remain the same and no further support is needed 

Or

  • Requests initial contact or visit
    • EHE Service arranges initial call / meeting. Respond to parents / carers questions / requests for support. Inform parents / carers of resources available.
