This publication explores the impact of creative projects on the
work of Pupil Referral Units and Learning Support Units around
England. During 2003, writer and researcher Richard Ings visited a
dozen centres that participated in First Time Projects, a programme
devised and funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Arts
Council England. He talked to the teachers and the learning support
staff, the artists and arts companies, and the young people
themselves about the benefits and challenges of engaging in arts
practice. Creating Chances is an important contribution to the
literature on how arts interventions can help to reach the
marginalised and excluded child. It provides the teaching
profession with fresh ideas and new approaches to making
connections with our most troubled young people. And it examines
the role of the artist as a catalyst for creativity and personal
development. This report is of vital interest to professionals
working towards social inclusion, including those responsible for
funding and setting education policy. Its publication is intended
to encourage better and wider use of creative approaches in PRUs
and LSUs across the country.
