DCSF: Where Next for Pupils Excluded from Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units? Research Information

DescriptionThis research tracked a group of pupils permanently excluded from special schools and pupil referral units (PRUs) and examined the events and processes that led to their exclusion, as well as their subsequent education and other outcomes. Twenty-two of the young people included had been permanently excluded from special schools and six from PRUs. Three waves of interviews with young people, their parent(s) and/or carers, and up to five key service providers working with the young person were attempted (in some cases it was difficult to access interviewees and therefore fewer interviews were conducted less frequently than intended). Interviews were conducted between March 2007 and March 2009.
