For the Haredi community, the home and the synagogue play a large, stable role in the education and communal life of these children—a three-pronged model once widespread across the UK. Yeshivas maintain robust safeguarding measures and provide safe and supportive environments where students thrive through mentorship, peer interaction and structured learning. Graduates go on to contribute significantly to a bustling social and economic community. To reclassify yeshivas as independent educational institutions would simply undermine their purpose and, in practice, force them to close. Changing yeshivas could even leave many children without the structure, support or space for their religious life and it would do grave damage to a thriving, contributing faith community.
