Educational progress of looked after children in England: linking care and educational data
Linked national education and care data were used to examine educational progress among children with care histories. The wider research includes children who subsequently left care through permanence routes and provides context for later work on educational outcomes among previously looked-after and adopted children.
Limitations: The primary study population is looked-after children rather than adoptees specifically, so adoption-related findings must be separated from findings about care-experienced children generally. Government or public-body commissioned/published research concerning adoption, care or education systems. Readers may take the commissioning/publication relationship and the body’s role in those systems into account.
