CUREE prepared carefully researched briefs on educational issues for the renewal.net website. Here local groups found up to date and reliable information and advice, based on best evidence, on some of the key issues and problems experienced by communities in disadvantaged neighbourhoods - ranging from truancy to teenage pregnancy. CUREE's work involved producing case studies of strategies aimed at supporting NEETS into education and employment.
We are always on the lookout for good case studies of multi-agency and school-community collaboration in addressing some of these problems, so contact the project coordinator, Colin Isham, with your ideas and examples.
Renewal.net is now IDeA - the Improvement and Development Agency, and can be found here.
