Home education and abuse - statistics

Dear Sir or Madam,

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.

Dear FOI,

Yours is not the only council to tell me that they do not collate
the two aspects of information - ie suspicion or existence of the
abuses I mentioned and educational status.

It seems particularly worrying that a local authority cannot
readily ascertain whether a certain group of children appear to be
at risk. Baroness Delyth Morgan has claimed that elective home
education can be used as a cover for the abuses mentioned, which is
puzzling to me seeing as so many LAs are not able to collate that
information. Can you confirm that it is not possible that Ms Morgan
could have come to that conclusion from information from your LA?

Yours sincerely,

C Murton

Dear FOI,

Thank you for this further info.

Yours sincerely,

C Murton
