Longitudinal Study of Pupils with SEND
Descriptions
Longitudinal Study of Pupils with SEND - Market engagement information The Department for Education is interested in launching a new cohort study that aims to provide high quality, longitudinal evidence on the experiences and outcomes of young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in England. This would build on lessons from the previously commissioned 'SEND Futures Discovery Phase' study - which tested the feasibility of conducting a longitudinal study of pupils with SEND and their parents. Reports for this study can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-futures-longitudinal-study-discovery-phase The study would follow up to 3 cohorts of pupils with SEND, with particular focus on how experiences and outcomes differ by: SEN type, education setting type and SEN provision type. Data from large samples of young people and parents across a range of SEN types and age groups would help generate valuable information for policymaking. The following cohorts and timelines are anticipated: • Cohort 1 - starting around age 4-5 (reception) following annually from 2027 • Cohort 2 - starting around age 10-11 (year 6) following annually from 2028 • Cohort 3 - starting around age 15-16 (year 11) following annually from 2029 A mixed mode approach is anticipated, to ensure accessibility and inclusion of a range of participants. Face-to-face fieldwork will be particularly important to ensure engagement and face-to-face fieldwork for all waves should be expected for some participants. For cohort 1, data would be collected from the parents of sampled pupils at every wave. Pupil data collection will start at an appropriate child age. Teacher reports may be collected at one or more waves. For cohort 2, data would be collected from sampled pupils and parents at every wave. Teacher reports may be collected at one or more waves. A suitable team for this project would have a wealth of expertise and experience spanning longitudinal studies and complex sampling. Experience and expertise of inclusive research with children and young people with a range of special educational needs and disabilities would be of equal importance. Consortium bids would be encouraged to enable the formation of well-integrated teams with both longitudinal and SEND expertise that can deliver high quality fieldwork to agreed timelines. The project would likely initially run from Summer 2026 - Spring 2030. A maximum budget of approximately £14.5M is anticipated .
