Results and Impact A workshop was organised by the team in each of the three Local Authority in which case study schools were located to present working findings and to illicit feedback from educational actors and policy makers, young people, parents and any other interested parties. All of the young people and adults who participated in the research were invited. These were invaluable workshops, providing further insight and discussion into our ongoing findings.

There was dialogue about our findings and we thought about our ongoing analysis in light of this. We presented policy recommendationd.
