Stakeholder and expert engagement

There are scheduled stakeholder engagements within the studies. These include expert interviews at the latter part of the descriptive work where “policy makers, experts, representatives of those affected by policies, will be interviewed”. Similarly, configurations “will be validated and where possible extended with three stakeholders from each jurisdiction” (policy makers, senior civil servants and school leaders). There are also further opportunities to refine research questions with key stakeholders, such as the DfE, equivalents and representative groups.
