The purpose of the "UK Home Education Support" e-mail list is to provide mutual support for UK based home educators and those interested in home education (HE). To allow the sharing of knowledge and experience between established and prospective home educators. To establish a forum for the free discussion of issues surrounding any and every aspect of home education. To provide a place for home educated children to communicate with each other and adults.
