Research Hub

We are proud to be working in partnership with researchers at the University of Southampton through the Acorns Research Network, a national initiative that brings together Home Educating families and academic researchers.

This collaboration creates exciting opportunities for families in our community to take part in meaningful research, especially around home education, learning, neurodivergence and wellbeing. This might include:

• Taking part in focus groups or interviews

• Contributing to PhD and postgraduate research

• Sharing experiences to shape a better understanding of home education in the UK

Our involvement helps ensure that the voices of home-educating families are heard in academic spaces, and that research is shaped with — not just about — our community.

If you’re a family who’d like to get involved — or a researcher interested in working with our network — we’d love to hear from you.
