- Make Homeschool Safe for All Children
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.
September 2026 | When abuse and neglect cases occur in homeschool settings, news coverage often omits mention of the victims’ school status, even when it plays a key role in the nature and extent of the abuse/neglect. Our September research brief explores the frequency with which newspaper articles on homeschool abuse and neglect cases involving food deprivation or imprisonment fail to mention school status.
