Amanda Spielman warns ‘there is a minority of children who sadly are safer in school than out of it’
The head of the Ofsted schools inspectorate said that England risks a repeat of cases such as Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, the six-year-old abused and murdered in his own home last year, if schools and social services are disrupted by future lockdowns.
Asked if further school closures could result in similar cases, Amanda Spielman said: “Yes, schools closing clearly has had some significant risks for children around the reduction in quality of education but we know that there is a minority of children who sadly are safer in school than out of it.
