Abstract

This paper documents a summary of the research I carried out during my second year of training as an educational psychologist in Scotland. The issue that I was investigating concerned the effectiveness of communication between schools and residential houses about the education of young people who are looked after away from home. The educational outcomes for this group of young people have been of concern to policy makers as their achievements tend to be lower than the general population (Jackson and Sachdev, 2001).
