Really Homeguard? it is said that some people will believe anything. When did it change from 100 hours and 25 supervised solo flights. Sensibly, solo flights would be those of students with whom you have flown. I know it can be abused. When you send a student off solo and confer on her or him the status of pilot it is normal to consider the pilot's safety, the safety of those over which she or he may fly and to have some consideration for their family and dependants. If you have trained her or him well and the training has been assimilated then it may be less daunting. Do not expect that the instructors who brag about their rapid progress are truthful, they may be hiding their insecurity. If on the other hand you have a genuine concern as I would have given the scenario that you say you believe, then speak to someone who may influence the situation - why would you not do so? Supervision is a serious responsibility and a duty of care.
PS took longer to type than expected but agree with other posts immediately above too.
