I just heard this discussed on the radio 2 early breakfast news broadcast: new legislation stating parents won’t be able to homeschool if their homes are “unsafe or unsuitable”.
Sounds great to the general populace, but do we know what that will mean in practice? Will PDA sibling interactions, or meltdowns come under “unsafe”? Will PDA accommodations lead to a decision of “unsuitable”?
Now, this is all conjecture on my part, but I am worried. I hope the PDA society will have thoughts on this and ideas on how to support families through this shift – or better still, reassurance that this won’t affect our community!
