The group of practitioners – called the Partnership Innovation Team (PIT) – which undertook this collaborative action research inquiry asked this question: “How can schools work better in partnership to support young people who need additional support?”

The Schools PIT initially sought to explore a schools intervention programme that offers alternative activities for some high school students. But because the group membership and focus changed, in early 2016 the group decided to focus more generally on approaches to partnership working with schools, and how organisations can better respond to the needs of young people with additional support needs.
