Hi Mark

How old is your daughter?

if you were going to home school her you would have to think about the financial side of things. Income support is not automatically paid to lone parents once their youngest child reaches seven.

Anyway here is a site where you can look at some information about home schooling, it has links to other sites as well. Hope this helps.Smile

Hi mark, you might also find it useful to talk with ACE (Advisory Centre of Education), they have a General advice line: 0808 800 5793

You might also be interested in getting your daughter involved with Platform51, they support girls and women take control of their lives. it may be a useful resource.

You might also want to speak with Young Minds, who provides a telephone helpline service to parents and carers in the UK who have a concern about their child's emotional problems or behaviour. If you're a worried parent, call the YoungMinds Parents Helpline on 0808 802 5544. Opening hours are 9.30am-4pm Monday to Friday
