Study of the impact of Creative Partnerships on the wellbeing of children and young people

Children's well-being is of increasing concern in the UK. A recent UNICEF report ranked the UK in the bottom third of economically advanced nations for 'child well-being' (United Nations Children Fund, 2007). Government policy is placing increasing emphasis not only on educational achievement (Children, Schools and Families Committee: From Baker to Balls; the foundations of the education system), but also on the wider well being of the child both in and out of school. This is highlighted by the ongoing commitment to realise the five goals of the Every Child Matters agenda for all children and young people.

CCE wishes to commission a researcher or researchers to investigate the nature and effect of the Creative Partnerships programme on levels of well-being in young people and where possible to relate that to their educational attainment.

Using existing data where possible, with a focus on attainment and well-being and in addition, fieldwork in Creative Partnerships schools, CCE wishes to establish an understanding of the impact the programme may be having on the well-being of young people. Studies previously commissioned by CCE demonstrate a degree of impact on both educational attainment and levels of attendance within school (Kendall et al, NFER, 2007). We would expect this work to be incorporated within this study along with other relevant reports related to the Creative Partnerships programme.
