Elective home education - Find a freedom of information request

This is a request about home education teams.

I am aware that some local authorities may have a different word or phrase to describe these teams, so for the avoidance of doubt, I am asking for information about any staff whose main role is to support or monitor the use of elective home education for the authority I would like to request the following information:

1) How many people on average did the LA employ in its home education team during each of the last 10 full financial years. NB: If you do not have an average, a snapshot figure for a point in the year is acceptable

2) How much did the council spend on its home education teams and wider work to support and monitor the use of elective home education in each of the last 10 financial years

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1) Those employed to monitor the EHE are independent consultants. across the given period there has been on average 5/6 people every year working various number of days.

2) Please see table attached
