About the Home Education Forums

Home Education Forums (HEF) is an interactive online community for home educating families, home-edupreneurs (home educating entrepreneurs) and all those with a personal or professional interest in home education in the UK.

Run as a social enterprise, HEF is committed to raising awareness of home education as a valid alternative to schooling. It aims to connect home educating families, encourage the pooling of resources, experience and expertise, nurture home-edupreneurship and facilitate preferential trading between community members through a dedicated business directory.

HEF is divided into public access forums and private members’ forums.

• Registered members may contribute to all discussions within the public networking and business forums, the content of which will be indexed by the search engines.
• Home educators who wish to access our private family forums and home-edupreneurs who wish to access the private business forum, should contact the admin team.
• Home educated children and young people may access our restricted Young People’s Zone provided that we receive confirmation of parental consent for them to do so.
• Members who have a professional interest in home education should contact the admin team if they wish to access our dedicated professionals’ forum.

The forums are moderated by a team of experienced home educators, all of whom have been active in the home education community for many years and who are committed to promoting freedom of choice in education. While HEF fully supports freedom of speech, the moderators will take immediate action to remove spam or other inappropriate or undesirable content and ask that members report any problems or offensive posts without hesitation.
