Between 2019 and 2023, Porticus – a philanthropic organisation – supported around 20 organisations working to prevent inappropriate exclusion from school and improve the quality of alternative provision. RAND evaluated progress towards the Programme goals and NFER focused on the outcomes achieved by the in-school interventions and pilots.
At the Programme-level, IntegratED made progress in all ten intended outcomes and delivered some results not originally expected. The evaluations found that half of the intended Programme outcomes had been achieved and tangible progress was made towards the others.
The work of IntegratED partners has contributed to an improved understanding of the nature of exclusion and alternative provision and generated ideas about improvements to support the country’s most vulnerable children. The report contains 5 key recommendations for future programmatic working.
