• Providing targeted programs of support

designed for particular at risk and vulnerable groups of young people.

• Developing new models of support.
• Partnerships and links within the Council

both within Economic Development and Children’s services colleagues – strength of relationships.

reductions to support able to offer

What’s working well?

• Pressure on success rates in post-16

education has meant that some gaps in provision have started to emerge, particularly in entry/level 1.

• Providing an ongoing high level of support

to NEET and risk of NEET (RONI) young people despite continued reductions in funding and threat to services.

• Pressures on schools leave many young

people without careers support.

• Demanding NEET and Not Known target

despite ongoing cuts to funding.

• Complexity of new funding often requiring

“match” has left us with no further room for movement to attract funds requiring this.

Challenges

• Support to identify partnerships of mutual benefit.
• Continue to champion Futures and its services –
• wnership structure.
• Consider areas where Futures could further play a

part as part of our desire to develop our targeted and vulnerable groups offer.

• Links to Futures for Business – opportunities to look

at further developments.
