We are committed to reducing the number of young people who are not in any form of education, employment or training (NEET). These young people may face multiple barriers to their participation and need a different type of support.

They may already receive support from local services, but need a package of help aimed specifically at returning to work or learning.

We are required to keep in regular contact with young people, until they are 19-years-old, to offer support to help them get into education, training or work. This means that from time to time we will contact you, just to check things are going well.
