How is the HOPE Study's research being carried out?
The HOPE Study will use diverse methodologies and involve young people, parents and practitioners. 听Our research methods will use the fact that SEN听provision has not been evenly distributed across local authorities and the amount of provision has varied over time. This will make it possible to compare outcomes in children who received support with similar children who did not receive support for SEN. Different methods are being used to analyse how certain we can be that SEN provision causes a change in health outcomes. Four interlinked work packages within the HOPE Study will work on developing iteratively investigate and inform each other's findings throughout the programme.听
