Research

CRHE’s research informs policy recommendations such as our Make Homeschool Safe model legislation. Our research also supports development of educational trainings for professionals who encounter homeschooled children. To date, we have trained over one thousand professionals in understanding abuse and neglect in homeschool settings, with a focus on the policy landscape that enables that abuse and neglect. 

Our current research focuses on abuse and neglect in homeschool settings. We also produce research briefs and maintain a list of research resources
