Children who come into contact with the care system areone of the lowest performing groups in terms ofeducational outcomes internationally (Sebba and Luke,2019). They also go on to have poorer employmentprospects (Hook & Courtney, 2011) and health outcomes(Dixon, 2008) than the wider population and are over represented in the homeless (Davison & Burris, 2014) andprison populations (Centre for Social Justice, 2015). SinceSeptember 2014, EHCPs were introduced for children whohave complex special educational needs and disabilities(SEND), which aim to improve some of these outcomes.Around half of Children Looked After (CLA) and Children inNeed (CIN) have an identified special educational need(SEN) and are much more likely to have an EHCP than allchildren (Nat. Stats., 2022).The aim of EHCPs is to coordinate the support for the childin a way that focuses on desired outcomes including, asthey get older, preparation for adulthood. If successful, thisshould lead to better outcomes for these children - a thesisthis PhD study seeks to test through a mixed methodsdifference-in-differences research design, using acombination of administrative data held by government,and advanced quantitative methods, complemented withan interdisciplinary, mixed methods approach. While thereis an emerging body of research into EHCPs (e.g. Ahad etal., 2022), no study has yet evaluated the impact of EHCPson children's outcomes - making this the first study of itskind.

就国际教育成果而言，接触护理系统的儿童是表现最低的群体之一（Sebba 和 Luke，2019）。他们的就业前景（Hook & Courtney，2011）和健康状况（Dixon，2008）也比更广泛的人口要差，并且在无家可归者（Davison & Burris，2014）和监狱人口（社会正义中心，2015）中所占比例过高）。自 2014 年 9 月以来，针对具有复杂特殊教育需求和残疾 (SEND) 的儿童引入了 EHCP，旨在改善其中一些结果。大约一半的受照顾儿童 (CLA) 和有需要的儿童 (CIN) 具有已确定的特殊教育需求（ SEN），并且比所有儿童更有可能拥有 EHCP（Nat. Stats.，2022）。EHCP 的目的是协调对以一种专注于期望结果的方式，包括随着年龄的增长，为成年做准备。如果成功，这应该会给这些孩子带来更好的结果——本博士研究旨在通过混合方法的双重差异研究设计来测试论文，结合政府持有的行政数据和先进的定量方法，并辅以跨学科的混合方法方法。尽管针对 EHCP 的研究不断涌现（例如 Ahad 等人，2022 年），但尚未有研究评估 EHCP 对儿童结局的影响，这也是同类研究中的第一项。
