During World War II, the evacuation of civilians in London primarily involved children and vulnerable individuals. The British government initiated a program known as "Operation Pied Piper," which began in September 1939, to relocate children from urban areas, especially those at risk of bombing, to safer rural locations. This evacuation aimed to protect them from the dangers of air raids and ensure their safety during the conflict. Many families were separated as a result, with children being placed with host families in the countryside.

It was believed that upon declaration of war, Germany would endeavour to bomb London. With their superior numbers, it was possible, so measures were taken to evacuate London children to other parts of the country. For some, this was an enriching experience, for others it was entry into virtual slavery.

i think it was right to evacuate children in WWII because it was for their safety

If they lived in cities, or (close to) military targets they'd evacuate to avoid getting bombed.
Because they remained in London during the blitz when the easy option would have been to evacuate to Canada as many others did.
To save them from potentially being killed. Why else?
