CS_image6.jpg NFER is in a position to support local authorities and their partner agencies consult with families, schools and the wider community. Please contact the Children’s Services Team at ChildrensServicesTeam@nfer.ac.uk or by phone on 01753 637 324.

Examples of some of NFER’s recent work in this area are given below:


Community cohesion: rapid evidence review
This review provides a snapshot of guidance, policy and practice as at November 2006. Highlighting research, best practice and current initiatives in community cohesion, and identifying gaps in knowledge.


Support for children who are educated at home
The particular focus of this piece of work will be to examine the types of support offered to home educators and their children, and the organisations through which they are provided.


Some perspectives on home educated children
This was a small-scale, scoping study focusing on the local authority’s role regarding elective home education (EHE).
