Section G Appendices: Reports and Working Papers

Structure of Section G

G.1 This research study started in August 2003 and ended with the submission of the Final Report in June 2006. Throughout the lifespan of the research a number of reports and working papers were produced. This section of the Final Report brings this material together in Appendices 7 through to 15.

G.2 As we outlined in chapter 2, Methodology, the study involved a number of discrete, but related, elements. To accommodate this the research team produced a number of reports detailing the discrete elements and their findings. For example, a full account of the case study element of the study can be found in Appendix 12.

G.3 The documents in Appendices 7-15 acted as a resource for the team to draw upon when compiling the Final Report. We have included all of these supplementary reports at this point for two reasons. First, they provide the evidence base that we used when compiling the Final Report. Second, it is likely that some readers will have a specific interest in the additional detail that is to be found in these Appendices. At the end of each of the Appendices we include the research tools used in the data gathering. For example, at the end of Appendix 8 we have included the survey questionnaire that was sent to parents.

G.4 The data collecting for the research took place over a period of approximately two years. The following table provides a summary of when the separate elements were carried out and the reports drafted, this will enable the reader to place each of the Appendices within the context of the research timescale.
