The trainee may have voiced that exact concern, at which point it would be the OJTI’s job to remind them that it’s the VFR pilot’s responsibility to remain VMC.
There’s not enough detail in the report to suggest that there was any failure in the training team’s part - I just hope that this example among others are used to review the training system to explore if improvements can be made.
