Abstract

This report builds upon a pilot study that was conducted for YANQ in 2010 (Mills and McGregor, 2010) in that study we collected data from a small, diverse group of alternative schools in South-East Queensland. We identified some of the practices that had worked to engage marginalised young people facing very difficult life circumstances back into learning. This ARC funded project was able to build upon the pilot study by adding regional, rural and remote case study alternative schools that cater to the needs of some of the most marginalised young people in Queensland to the data. Funding also enabled extensive phone interviews to be carried out with workers in the youth field across the state and the implementation of surveys with young people and workers in these schools and also with some young people not in education or work.
