Photos on your phone. Notes in a notebook. Workbooks in a drawer. When the letter arrives, you have three hours to find it all.

Feature comparison based on publicly available information as of August 2026.
From 2026, Local Authorities have new powers to request information about home educated children. Families will need to provide evidence that their child is receiving a suitable education.
The families who are ready are the ones keeping organised records now. Not because the law requires a particular format. But because having something clear and organised to show makes every conversation with your Local Authority simpler.
Read our full guide to the Act"I received a letter from our Local Authority three weeks after signing up. I had my report downloaded and sent within an hour. I cannot imagine doing that without Little Folio."
"The philosophy statement builder saved me weeks of anxiety. I had been putting it off for months. It took twenty minutes."
"We switched from keeping everything in a folder to Little Folio. I log an entry every day now. It takes two minutes and I actually enjoy it."

The families who are ready when the Local Authority asks are the ones who kept going when it felt like extra work. Little Folio makes the keeping-going part easier.
