Local authorities also have a duty to work with schools to identify those young people who need targeted support or who are at risk of not participating post-16. Alongside this, they must lead the September Guarantee process which guarantees all young people a suitable place in further education at the end of years 11 and 12.<\/p><p>In line with these duties, where a young person is identified as \u2018Not in Education, Employment and Training\u2019 (NEET), the local authority has a responsibility to work with them. Similarly, where a young person\u2019s destination is identified as \u2018not known\u2019, the local authority must continue to try to locate and contact the young person through various routes.<\/p><p>Local authorities may choose to organise their tracking of young people in a variety of ways; however, all local authorities have a duty to submit monthly data to the Department for Education\u2019s \u2018National Client Caseload Information System\u2019 (NCCIS). This data is then published by the department, throughout the year in various publications, for transparency purposes.<\/p><p>The department publishes the NEET scorecard annually, which pulls together all of the NCCIS data published throughout the previous year and other relevant data. The scorecard ranks local authorities into 5 groups based on their performance on the percentage of 16 and 17-year-olds NEET and whose activity is not known. The department actively performance manages those local authorities in the bottom group. These actions can vary from engagement at official level, meetings and ministerial letters.<\/p><p>As this year\u2019s scorecard has yet to be published, it will not be possible to confirm at this time exactly what action will be taken with individual local authorities. However, as local authority groups will be based on the NCCIS NEET and participation data, published on 20 June 2019[1], which shows that Lancashire County Council\u2019s NEET and not known percentage is 10%, of which 8% were not known, which is above the North West average of 3.2% and the England average of 2.9%, it is likely that performance management action will be taken in relation to Lancashire local authority.<\/p><p>The department\u2019s performance management approach has worked well in the past, with the majority of the local authorities contacted achieving improvements in their submitted data. Where improvements are not achieved, in a reasonable timeframe, the department follows up at official level with formal meetings to agree action plans and deadlines for improvement.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>[1] NEET and Participation Local Authority Figures: <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neet-and-participation-local-authority-figures\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neet-and-participation-local-authority-figures<\/a>.<\/p>"}

It supports people who are starting out in their careers, those who want to upskill and those who want or need to change careers.<\/p><p>Adult skills and lifelong learning provision includes:<\/p><ul><li>Apprenticeships: Our reforms to apprenticeships are benefiting people of all ages and backgrounds, including adults developing their skills. We have given employers the flexibility to offer apprenticeships to both new recruits and existing staff, supporting the creation of quality workplace training opportunities and life-long learning.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><ul><li>Adult Education Budget (AEB) funded provision: The AEB fully funds or co-fund skills provision for eligible adults aged 19 and above from pre-entry to level 3 (including traineeships) to help them gain the skills they need for work, an apprenticeship or further learning. It also enables flexible tailored programmes of learning to be made available which do not need to include a qualification.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><ul><li>From 1 August 2019, approximately half of the AEB has been devolved to 6 Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) and the Mayor of London acting through the Greater London Authority (GLA). From this date the MCAs and GLA can use the devolved AEB to shape education and skills provision in a way that best fits the needs of their residents and local economy. The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) will be responsible for funding AEB learners resident in non-devolved areas.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><ul><li>Part-time higher education (HE) provision: Flexible and part-time HE has a key role in terms of widening choice and participation in HE for adults.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><ul><li>The National Retraining Scheme: The National Retraining Scheme is a new programme which is currently being developed as part of the government\u2019s answer to the transforming world of work. The National Retraining Scheme will help prepare adults for the future changes to the economy, including those brought about by automation, and help them retrain into better jobs.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><ul><li>Advanced Learner Loans support clear routes into work, progression within work and progression to higher education, by providing fees support for level 3 to level 6 qualifications. Access to multiple Advanced Learner Loans enables adults to progress or re-skill.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><ul><li>European Social Fund (ESF) funded provision: The ESF is an EU programme that delivers £3 billion (over 7 years) of employment/training provision to support those furthest from learning and the labour market. DfE and ESFA are one of several Co-Financing Organisations that procure provision on behalf of Local Enterprise Partnerships and deliver on average £150 million of skills provision per annum. Provision is a mixture of regulated and unregulated employment and skills courses with a strong focus on additional and \u2018wraparound\u2019 support (for example, employability skills, confidence building, mentoring to overcome personal barriers to learning and/or employment).<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p>"}
