Publications - Journals

The Home Education Journal is published 3 times a year. It is 50 pages, perfect bound, with a full colour cover (bound and finished as a paperback book). We intend the journal to become the highest quality source of news and information available on the subject. A publication that can be kept and referred back to for years to come.

The aim of the journal is to provide a high quality forum for debate, information and resources to home educators or professionals working in any field associated with home education. The journal will cover up to date research, the latest legislative issues and much more. It will provide a platform for discourse between practitioners, academics, government and LAs and will cover key issues, not only in the UK, but also in Europe and beyond, particularly where families find themselves restricted by legislation.

All profits support advice work and research. We welcome contributions from academics, parents, campaigners and those working in local authorities.

The Journal carries:

• Editorials
• News
• Advice pages
• Regular column
• Campaign information
• Research findings & Reports
• Feature articles
• Support Information
• Reviews of books and resources
• Information on the changing legal landscape
• Articles by home educators around the world
• Articles by home educators from specific perspectives
