Blanchardstown, Dublin. It seeks to make recommendations as to how services and schools could provide Blanchardstown’s youth population with an improved ‘continuum of care’.

Young people’s direct input into the consultation process was obtained through questionnaires given to all 6th classes and 1st year classes in the selected schools. Service users were interviewed from 9 core local services.
The key conclusions and recommendations are based on an integrated, holistic and community response to early school leaving in the area.
