working from home tax allowance

Hi maybe you could help me with this query,

People who are working from home as part of their employment can claim a working from home allowance to help with extra heating and electrics, but what are the parameters for parents who maybe do not work from home but are assisting with home schooling.

They are using extra heating and electricity to accomplish the home schooling. 

I would be grateful on your opinions on this matter as I’m sure thousands of families are incurring this extra cost. 

Thanks

    There is no special relief or assistance for these costs, and they do not impact on a claim for benefits.
