Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the Scottish Executive Schools Directorate for funding this study and for its support in conducting the research. Special thanks are also due to our collaborators, the Scottish Refugee Council and Children in Scotland, from whose unfailing support and expertise the study has greatly benefited. We are particularly grateful to the research participants: the young people and parents who so generously gave us their time and told of their experiences; to the case study schools and education authorities for their willing co-operation with the research and for sharing their experiences with us; and to survey respondents for their timely participation.
We are also appreciative of the valued advice and support given us by members of the Research Advisory Group and the Stakeholder Group; and by refugee education consultants Bill Bolloten and Tim Spafford. Finally, thanks are due to colleagues at the Institute of Education, in particular Professor Heidi Mirza, Professor Peter Moss, Fiona Thirlwell, Michelle Cage and Jenny Stratford, who have supported the project in so many ways.
* Since the preparation of this report the Scottish Executive has been renamed the Scottish Government, but references to the old name are retained in the body of the report.
