The Scottish Executive has funded 18 local
authority pilot projects to provide educational support for looked after
children. The overall aim of the research is to learn and disseminate lessons

experience and attainment of looked after children. It will map the activity in
the pilots in the 18 local authorities and identify positive practice in the
context of different pilots.
