DfES (Mar 27 2003) Study of young people permanently excluded from school. Report No. 405.Editorial Comment:
Focus
This study tracked the careers for a two-year period, of 193 young people after their permanent exclusion from school during Year 9, Year 10 or Year 11 (13 to 16 years of age) in a representative sample of 10 LEAs. It was commissioned at a time of continuing concern about the numbers of young people excluded from school and the provision made for them. It investigated the impact of pre- and post-exclusion processed, provision and outcomes on the life-chances of the young people and wider indicators of interventions that made a positive difference. There was a particular focus on ‘at risks’ groups (black young people and children ‘looked after’.)
Key findings
The study provided evidence of whether the young people were actively involved in education, training or employment two years after their permanent exclusion.
