The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill is expected to come into force in 2025.
A register to identify children who are not in school in England will be part of a bill introduced to Parliament on Tuesday.
The Labour government says the bill will also make sure that teachers and schools are always involved in decisions around safeguarding children in their area, and that if a child's home environment is assessed as unsuitable or unsafe, local authorities have the power to intervene. "In recent years, too many children have been failed by their last line of defence: the state," Phillipson said.Under the government's plans, parents will no longer have an automatic right to educate their children at home if their child is under a child protection plan and will have to get the local council's permission.The Education Policy Institute warned that up to 300,000 children may be missing from education entirely.
"Writing these two landmark measures into law will be of huge significance for any child currently at risk of harm in this country - it must now be supported by proper data-sharing between organisations so no child can become invisible in the system."
