The Problem: Recording Overwhelm

Home educators and alternative provision providers faced overwhelming administrative burdens when trying to document learning and meet Local Authority requirements, often turning their focus away from actual education.

  • Complex Documentation Requirements

    Families struggled with formal lesson plans, tick-box forms, and rigid reporting structures

  • Fear of LA Inspections

    Anxiety about providing evidence to Local Authorities often overshadowed the joy of learning

  • Real Learning Goes Unrecorded

    Meaningful moments like conversations, experiments, and natural discoveries were lost because they didn't fit traditional recording methods
