This Report examines current interventions and gaps in provision with regard to actual and potential early school leavers from 10 –17 years mainly in the
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.
This study and the application of its findings has the potential of being a national model for addressing the issue of early school leaving in Ireland in an integrated manner
