'Beyond the school gates': Refugee Council's research report on supporting refugees and asylum seekers in secondary school [May 2008]
This report presents the findings from research undertaken as part of the Inclusive Secondary Schools Project which is a three-year project, which funded by the KPMG Foundation. The project has researched and piloted new ways of working that link schools with refugee and asylum seeking young people, their parents/carers and Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs). This report discusses the findings of the research phase which explored the needs and experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in relation to secondary schooling. The research consisted of 70 in-depth interviews, and questionnaire surveys with RCOs, secondary schools and local authorities, to: - examine the experiences and needs of these groups
- identify key barriers to inclusion, and
- identify examples of practice aimed at overcoming these barriers.
