1.1c. What factors impact engagement and achievement for children and learners with additional needs in secure children’s homes and youth offending institutions? Which interventions or policies most effectively improve participation and outcomes?
Background
Inclusion focuses on understanding the challenges and protective factors that influence inclusion, belonging, and fair access to high-quality education and care. We want to explore what works in practice to support children, young people and learners who face the highest barriers. This includes looking at the approaches that have the greatest impact on their achievement, wellbeing and long-term outcomes. It involves examining effective strategies for multi-agency collaboration, early identification and action in response to identified needs, and adapting provision to meet diverse challenges. We are interested in finding out how high-quality inclusive practice is shaped by local context. We also want to see where providers show exceptional practice and strong outcomes across all the areas we regulate and inspect.
