Understanding Children's Lives and Outcomes, led by Morag Treanor and Fiona Mitchell, will provide new insights to help better understand and deliver the best possible outcomes for children, utilising existing datasets newly acquired by Scottish Government, in areas including education, health and wellbeing, and the provision of protection and care for children. There is an extensive range of data about children in Scotland, but it is held across different organisations and is not currently linkable in a way that allows analysis and insights into outcomes and how they vary across society. In addition, our works aims not only to look at children as individuals or in isolation, but situate them within their household and familial context to create a richer understanding of the factors affecting children's lives and to help better address the needs and experiences of children. Through the research projects, we seek to demonstrate the usefulness of these datasets in order to better understand children's lives and inform policy and practice, and in turn promote the future use and re-use of this data. We aim to learn more about particularly vulnerable cohorts, such as looked after children and, overall, to better understand children and young people's pathways and outcomes, building an evidence base which can help to improve their health, wellbeing and attainment. The ambitions for people in Scotland are captured in the National Performance Framework, which has a core strand on Children and Young People, and strives for an environment where children grow up loved, safe and protected and can reach their full potential. Our research projects directly respond to the Scottish Attainment Challenge, Permanence and Care Excellence Programme and Independent Care Review 2020 in Scotland, to improve data and outcomes for children in these areas. We will undertake two projects. The first will look at educational exclusions and absences. We will examine the variation between schools and between local authorities in their policies and practices in relation to temporary exclusions and absence, and will establish what policies are most effective in reducing exclusions and absences and improving children's outcomes. We will also explore the role of family characteristics and circumstances household living arrangements. This will allow us to explore the extent to which it is policy and practice, and not the demographics of the catchment or the characteristics of the family that make the difference to absences, exclusions and outcomes.The second project will examine growing up in kinship care. Our ambition is to increase our knowledge of the needs, circumstances and outcomes of children currently living in formal kinship care. We will look at the requirements that universal, and targeted services need to meet in the context of statutory duties focussed on promoting the wellbeing of all children. In the course of undertaking this research we will find out whether this new linked dataset could be used to create thematic reports that could form part of a more in depth annual statistical bulletin produced by government.

由莫拉格特雷弗和菲奥娜米切尔领导的“了解儿童的生活和结果”项目将提供新的见解，帮助更好地了解和为儿童提供最佳的结果，利用苏格兰政府新获得的现有数据集，包括教育、健康和福祉，以及为儿童提供保护和护理。苏格兰有大量关于儿童的数据，但这些数据是由不同的组织保存的，目前还没有以一种允许分析和洞察结果以及它们在社会中如何变化的方式收集。此外，我们的工作不仅着眼于将儿童作为个体或孤立地看待，而且着眼于将他们置于家庭和家庭背景中，以更深入地了解影响儿童生活的因素，并帮助更好地解决儿童的需求和经历。通过这些研究项目，我们试图展示这些数据集的有用性，以便更好地了解儿童的生活，为政策和实践提供信息，从而促进未来使用和再利用这些数据。我们的目标是更多地了解特别脆弱的群体，如被照顾的儿童，并从总体上更好地了解儿童和青年的途径和结果，建立一个证据库，有助于改善他们的健康，福祉和成就。苏格兰人民的雄心壮志体现在国家绩效框架中，该框架的核心是儿童和青年，并努力创造一个儿童在被爱、安全和受保护的环境中成长，并能充分发挥其潜力。我们的研究项目直接响应苏格兰成就挑战，永久性和卓越护理计划和独立护理审查2020在苏格兰，以改善这些领域的儿童的数据和结果。我们将开展两个项目。第一个将研究教育排斥和缺席。我们将研究学校之间和地方当局之间的差异，在他们的政策和做法有关的临时排斥和缺席，并将建立什么政策是最有效的减少排斥和缺席和改善儿童的结果。我们还将探讨家庭特征和家庭生活安排情况的作用。这将使我们能够探索在多大程度上是政策和实践，而不是集水区的人口统计或家庭的特点，使缺席，排斥和结果的差异。第二个项目将研究在亲属照顾中成长。我们的目标是增加我们对目前生活在正式亲属照料中的儿童的需求、情况和结果的了解。我们将研究普遍和有针对性的服务需要满足的要求，以促进所有儿童的福祉为重点的法定职责。在进行这项研究的过程中，我们将发现这个新的关联数据集是否可以用来创建专题报告，这些报告可以成为政府编制的更深入的年度统计公报的一部分。
