<p>The DWP Youth Offer provides individually tailored work coach support to young
people aged 16 to 24 who are in the Universal Credit Intensive Work Search group.
This includes the Youth Employment Programme, Youth Employability Coaches and Youth
Hubs across Great Britain. Young people are referred to the most appropriate part
of the Youth Offer depending on their individual circumstances.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>

</p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p> </p><ol><li>A claimant can start on multiple strands
of the Youth Offer. E.g. a claimant can enrol on the Youth Employment Programme and
be referred to a Youth Hub. Therefore, the sum of those enrolled on the Youth Employment
Programme, referred to a Youth Hub and referred to a Youth Employability Coach will
be greater than the total number of individuals supported by the Youth Offer for each
financial year.</li><li>A claimant can start on the Youth Offer multiple times. E.g.
a claimant could be referred to a Youth Hub in FY21/22 and referred to a Youth Employability
Coach in FY22/23. Therefore, some individuals will be included in the totals for more
than one financial year.</li><li>This data is produced from a manual process and although
care is taken when processing and analysing Youth Hub and Youth Employability Coach
referrals, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any
large-scale recording system which features manual data. Therefore, Youth Hub and
Youth Employability Coach figures are likely to underestimate the number of young
people who have received Youth Hub and/or Youth Employability Coach support.</li><li>When
a claimant enrols on the Youth Employment Programme or is referred to a Youth Hub
or Youth Employability Coach they are classified as having started on the Youth Offer.
We do not have a separate measure of engagement.</li><li>Figures have been rounded
to the nearest 100.</li></ol>
