At the heart of the campaign is a landmark inquiry into the impact of school environments on improved outcomes for children and young people led by Baroness Estelle Morris. We report in March & June 2010 Apr 09 c all for evidence … big conversation… expert sessions… inquiry on tour… research… commission begins… UK seminars… witness sessions… survey … interim report… Mar 10 … final report Jun 10

We have spoken to 800 people so far… Our plan is to speak to 80,000… We want to create the first open source inquiry and commission
