As a member of HBLN if you find you need further information, someone to point you in the right direction, or simply a friendly ear to reassure you that you’re not completely insane, then the following friendly people have volunteered to be available either on line or via phone. We would ask that callers bear in mind that these parents may well be up to their neck in something with their own children when you ring and so may have to ask you to ring back at a more convenient time, however they are sincerely interested in helping other home based learners, so don’t give up, persist and try again and you are sure to find a friendly ear on the other end ultimately.

Would you like to become a  volunteer support person?  Do you have a willingness to listen to parents with a non judgemental  frame of mind, would  you be happy to share your  families home based story with someone else or  help them find what they need.  Then email the president  at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
