Free NEET and risk of NEET re-engagement activities

Warwickshire County Council is committed to reducing the number of young people who are not in any form of education, employment or training (NEET). These young people will likely be those who face multiple barriers to their participation and need a different type of offer. Many of these young people fall into recognisable groups: they may be young parents, have learning difficulties or disabilities, or a history of offending. They may already be receiving support from local services, but require a package of help aimed specifically at returning to work or learning.

No one agency can do this alone, therefore, a range of partners are working together across Warwickshire to support more young people to engage.

A directory will soon be available on-line aimed at all practitioners who have a role in supporting or working with young people. It will identify all the FREE programmes currently on offer with information about how schools, sixth forms, college and other practitioners can make referrals.

The grid in this link identifies some of the NEET re-engagement activities taking place across the county.
