Your MP

Please consider contacting your Local MP. You can find out more about your Member of Parliament here. You can also find out more about your MPs interests and voting record, answer to written questions, information about what has been discussed in the House of Lords or House of Commons.

Your local council website will give more detail about councillors, their responsibilities and the work of the Council. In some areas/cities all responsibilities will come under one council, in other areas the education function may be exercised at county level. In these cases it is important to approach the councillor who represents your area at the body responsible for education.

MPs, MEPs and councillors hold regular meetings which you can attend - often by appointment. Read the section on how to lobby your MP, and see our model letters section for further ideas.

It is also possible to find the names of councillors, Members of Parliament and members of the European Parliament in your area and send them an email direct.

It would be useful to us if you could let us know when you write, and then if you get a response. We would like to ensure that every MP in England is aware that they have constituents who will be watching what is said regarding home education.

Below is a list of English MPs. As each one is contacted, and we are made aware of it, we will highlight this on the list below.
