In the same vein, it is reasonable and proportionate to require local authorities to make a home visit to families proposing to home-educate children who have ever been in care or had a child protection plan, or who are currently categorised as children in need. This is not an unfair imposition on those parents but a sensible, pragmatic step. I add, in relation to both amendments, that I recognise the value of the caveat of the noble Lord, Lord Crisp, about adoption.
