Abstract

This study commissioned by the Scottish Executive sought to explore the
delivery of the curriculum to disengaged young people in Scotland. The
study was divided into two phases: an audit phase and a case-study phase.
The audit phase involved a national questionnaire survey of all secondary
schools and FE colleges in Scotland, as well as a wide range of other
organisations working with young people. A total of 357 questionnaires
were returned completed, reflecting a 40 per cent response rate. The audit
phase also included telephone interviews with a sample of 41 questionnaire
respondents.
A total of 16 interventions were selected for intensive case study. These
interventions reflected a range of variables including geographic locale,
age group, type of difficulty addressed, type of agency and type of provision.
In addition, case studies were chosen because the work they were doing
with disengaged youngsters appeared to be distinctive, either in its focus,
or the type of activities involved. The case-study phase of the research
included interviews with young people, their parents/carers, and strategicand
operational-level staff.
