The Hertfordshire Participation Pilot was a collaborative project between Save the Children UK, Hertfordshire Children Schools and Families Participation Team, the HCD Student Partnership at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, one primary school, one secondary school, a special school for students with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties and an educational support centre (ESC) for children and young people who had been excluded from school (Education Support Centres are often known as Pupil Referral Units in other local authorities). It aimed to ensure that children and young people at the participating schools in disadvantaged areas were involved in decision-making and evaluating education as well as seeking to develop the skills of teachers and students to lead and undertake research that informed those decisions. The project's activities were undertaken with a view to informing the practice of each of the partner organisations in the broadest sense.
