Subject: Freedom of Information request - alegations of abuse within the home educating community
From: Anita Cameron <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>
To: FOI requests at Cheshire West & Chester Council <xxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx>

     Dear Sir or Madam,

     In light of recent very public insinuations by the NSPCC and a
     government review panel about the conduct of home educating
     families I would like to know:

     A. The number of persons in the local authority of compulsory
     school age who are, or claimed to be, electively home educated and
     who have been either suspected or found to be involved in child
     abuse, neglect, forced marriage, sexual exploitation or domestic
     servitude.

     B. How many (if any) Serious Case Reviews or Joint Area Reviews
     have reported with respect to home educated children in the LA.

     Yours faithfully,

     Kathleen Berisford
