CSW Market Engagement Event - The provision of tracking and supporting the participation of 16-18 (up to 25 with an EHCP/Care Leavers) year olds into education, employment or training

Award outcome

Description

To fulfil the local authorities' statutory duties as outlined below, we would like the service provider to be able to demonstrate how they would deliver the following service: • To promote effective participation in education and training of 16- and 17-year-olds within their area with a view to ensuring that those persons fulfil the duty to participate in education or training. • To make arrangements to identify young people not participating in education, employment or training (NEET), i.e. maintaining a comprehensive tracking system. • To make available to all young people up to 25 years old with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) support that will encourage, enable or assist them to participate in education, employment or training. • In applying the corporate parenting principles for care leavers, the provider will be required to work with virtual school heads (VSHs) and care leaving teams. Tracking young people's participation is a key element of these duties. Local authorities are required to collect information about young people so that those who are not participating, or are NEET, can be identified and given support to re-engage. Robust tracking also provides the local authority with information that will help to ensure that suitable education and training provision is available and that resources can be targeted effectively.
