Projects
The Network co-produces projects that draw on research-based, practice-based and lived experience to help embed belonging. Current projects include:
- Belonging in Education Implementation Framework – designed with and for educational settings (primary, secondary, post 16, special schools and alternative provision) to set out what effective belonging looks like in practice and how a school or other setting can go about embedding belonging as part of (rather than in addition to) its core approach.
- Pupil and family participation – working with Coram Voice [Link] the Network is developing resources for schools who wish to engage pupils, (parents and carers) to embed belonging.
- [To add once confirmed] Evidencing impact – working with schools, colleges, trusts and virtual schools to collate and analyse existing data to better evidence the impact of belonging strategies.
