A dedicated hub

Home Education at Neurodivergent Minds

Home education doesn't apply to everyone who visits this site, so here's everything relevant to it, gathered in one place, rather than scattered across guides, courses and books you'd otherwise have to go hunting for.

For legal information: we're not legally qualified, and UK home education rules can and do change, so we deliberately don't give legal specifics anywhere on this site. For reliable, up-to-date legal information and support, Education Otherwise is a long-standing, dedicated UK home education charity and a genuinely good place to start.
