Details
Local authorities in England have a mandatory duty to return data on elective home education and children missing education to the Secretary of State for Education.
The Department for Education (DfE) is providing a grant to help with the costs of complying with that duty.
This letter sets out the amount, payment and grounds for determination.
DfE will also email it to elective home education and children missing education contacts in each local authority on the launch date.
