I am responding to a report, from memory, by a home educator of a recent meeting with the APPG for elective home education, so if I have misrepresented the gist of what was conveyed I apologise in advance and would be happy to be corrected.

Slumming It , which was broadcast on Channel 4 this week, made for interesting viewing as it documented the experiences of Kevin McCloud who spent time living in Dharavi, a Mumbai slum where the film Slumdog Millionaire was made. Praised by Prince Charles for its strong happy community, this square mile &#8211; crammed . . . ]]></description>

Govan Law Centre’s Education Law Unit, supported by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, runs a case service for children and young people in education in Scotland who have been discriminated against or whose human rights have been breached.
