Placing an advisory teacher in Children’s Social Care at Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) Virtual School: Pilot evaluation report

This report presents findings from a pilot evaluation of Placing an Advisory Teacher in Children’s Social Care. This research builds on a report What Works for Children’s Social Care (WWCSC) released in February 2020 which revisited 63 trials funded by the Education Endowment Foundation to determine what works in education for children who have had social workers. It resulted in WWCSC in collaboration with the Department for Education (DfE) to hold an open call for three school-based programmes which aim to increase educational attainment for children with a social worker, one of which being Placing an Advisory Teacher in Children’s Social Care.
