Education provision for newly arrived displaced adolescents
Take part in our research study
What is the research about?
Refugee Education UK is working with The Bell Foundation to research access to education for newly arrived displaced adolescents – defined for the purposes of this study as adolescents, aged 13-19, who have been displaced from their homes (for reasons including but not limited to conflict, persecution, trafficking and poverty) and have been in the UK for less than one year. The study has been commissioned by The Bell Foundation in response to increased interest from policy makers and practitioners in supporting the needs of these newly arrived displaced adolescents.
This study aims to gather insights from those who have experience of working with/supporting these adolescents about the challenges they face in getting into school or college. It also seeks to explore the education provision that is put in place for displaced adolescents while they wait to start school or college.
If you have recent or current experience of working with young people from displacement backgrounds at the upper secondary or further education level, please participate in this research survey, which should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
