UK LEGAL READINESS

When the law changes,

you’re already ready.

We track UK home-education legislation so you don’t have to. Here’s where things stand, and how Flybrite keeps you on the right side of it, calmly.

Children Not In School register

NOT YET IN FORCE

The register is coming, but it is not live yet. The provisions have not been commenced, so there is currently no duty on you to register. When that changes, Flybrite already holds a plain, evidenced record, so it is a submission rather than a scramble.

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026

PASSED

The Act received Royal Assent on 29 April 2026. The home education sections commence separately, once regulations and statutory guidance are in place, currently expected from 2027. Until then the existing law applies unchanged. We track the commencement regulations and update this page as dates are confirmed.

EHCP awareness

SUPPORTED

If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan, your record can reflect provision and progress in the language reviews expect.

Data & privacy

UK-BASED

Your family’s record is stored in the UK, never sold, and fully exportable or deletable. Compliance built in, not bolted on.
