An inquest into the death of Sara Sharif should examine if concerns over cultural sensitivities meant teachers were afraid to question why she began wearing a hijab after being seen with bruises, an MP has suggested.
Will Forster, who became MP for Woking in July, said that the review into the 10-year-old’s death had to look at every aspect of her care.
At the Old Bailey on Wednesday, Urfan Sharif, Sara’s father, 42, and Beinash Batool, her step-mother, 30, were convicted of her murder.
Islamophobia and community cohesion should have been co-accused.
