A Partnership Approach

The National Challenge
The legislative imperative• “From April 2010, the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and
Learners Act comes in to force and, responsibility for the funding and organisation of 16-19 education and training will be transferred from the Learning and Skills Council to local authorities.”
• “We are taking this opportunity to also reform the arrangements for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (LLDD) up to the age of 25, by placing responsibility for those LLDD aged 19-25 with a learning difficulty assessment with local authorities.”
The National ChallengeRaising The Participation Age
The legislative imperative
New duty applies to anyone who is:• Under 18 and• Resident in England and• Without level 3 qualification
Duty is to participate in:• Full time education • Apprenticeship• Part time accredited learning (at least 280 guided learning hours per
year – around a day per week) if in employment or volunteering full time (at least 20 hours per week)
• Introduced in phases – to 17 in 2013; 18 in 2015
The National ChallengeRaising the Participation Age
The Financial Imperative
Redressing the negative – NEET (Not in Education, employment or Training) to EET
It costs• Additional lifetime cost of £97k per individual NEET
• RPA could generate £2.4 billion for each cohort (£2 to £1 return on increased investment in additional provision and support)
The National Challenge
The moral imperative
• All young people should achieve their potential in school
• Too many young people with LDD are not in education, employment or training after 16 (NEET)
• Some have low expectations about future employment opportunities
• Households of unemployment
The National Challenge
The moral imperative
It really costs
A long term NEET at age 21 is more likely to be• Unemployed/ under employed• Lower income• Criminal record• Poor health & depression• Death
