Guides for home-educating families
Finding the other families is the part of home education nobody writes down. These guides cover where the community actually is in the UK, Spain and Australia, how to find families near you and host a meet-up, how to plan a home-ed week, and how to start, with official sources for each country. General information, not legal advice.
