Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner for England, stated it is ‘madness’ to allow home schooling when there are concerns of child abuse. This remark follows the tragic story of 10-year-old Sara Sharif, who was murdered by her father Urfan Sharif and stepmother Beinash Batool after being removed from school despite red flags regarding her safety. De Souza emphasized the importance of school as a safeguard for at-risk children and called for stricter regulations against home education in such cases. The government is planning legislation to enhance child protection measures.
