The 2008 White Paper, 'Back on Track: a strategy for modernising alternative provision for young people', set out a plan to transform the quality of alternative education for those who are excluded from, or who for some other reason are unable to attend school. This report sets out the findings from research into the Back on Track alternative provision pilots. The overarching aim was to develop insights from the 12 specifically funded projects as part of the Back on Track pilot program to investigate what can work in alternative provision, how and for whom, in order to advance understandings and inform future policy and practice. To achieve this, the study focused on developing knowledge through the varying experiences of the Back on Track pilots in relation to: the structure, content and operation of the alternative provision pilot projects; the key ingredients of delivery that lead to effective alternative provision in the pilot projects; and the outcomes, impacts and achievements of the alternative provision pilot projects.
