D7.2 Risk Management and Contingency Monitoring Plan

LET'S CARE aims to understand and substantiate how student socio-emotional (in)security can promote/hinder educational opportunities from early childhood education to secondary school and beyond. The project, starting in October 2022, will analyse the forms and dynamics in which family relations and social inequality can explain school (under)achievement, (dis)engagement and early dropout, especially for vulnerable populations, and how building Safe School relationships can be a powerful tool to counteract these dynamics. This research will follow a methodological framework revolving around the theoretical and empirical exploration of the issue and the permeation of the project results through the policy action, fostering collaborative practices and elaborating the policy solutions. A co-creation and collaborative dynamics strategy throughout the project will be pursued. The essential ethical and technical issues arising from the participation of many vulnerable minor participants and the possible effects that their involvement could have on their social inclusion and overall well-being (e.g., stigmatisation of students being identified as disadvantaged) require a robust Risk Assessment and Contingency Plan. This deliverable presents the risks that may arise during the project implementation and defines alternative implementation pathways.
