Adoption UK’s Schools & Exclusions Report
Parents supplied 2,084 responses, each about one adopted child, in an October 2017 survey. The report analyses special educational needs, formal and informal exclusions and school moves. Respondents reported exclusion and interrupted schooling, with country-specific comparisons to official statistics, including England and Wales.
Limitations: Parents reported children’s outcomes; adoptees were not directly surveyed. Voluntary recruitment through membership, social media and networks may over-represent difficulties. Survey and national administrative figures differ in sampling and measurement, limiting risk comparisons. Produced by Adoption UK, an adoption-sector advocacy/service organisation. This institutional relationship should be considered when interpreting the findings.
