The term ‘NEET’, meaning young people not in education, employment or training, was coined during the late 1990s and is widely recognised internationally. When used inappropriately, the term can carry possible negative connotations. However, it has gained widespread currency and its use in this document is intended to facilitate more precise thinking and strategic decision making about young people who spend a substantial amount of time outside education, employment or training. For the purposes of this strategy, it is helpful to consider three groups of young people for whom different types of Government intervention are appropriate: • those under 16, where the focus is on work to prevent young people becoming NEET; • those aged 16 to 18 who are not at school, college or in training, including those who face specific barriers to participation, where the focus is on measures to re-engage young people with education and training; and • young unemployed people aged 18 to 24, who are unemployed or economically inactive and who may or may not be in receipt of Job Seekers Allowance or other benefits, where the focus is on engaging young people with employment opportunities. In developing ‘Pathways to Success’, we have considered the three groups on an ‘end to end’ basis, from childhood all the way through to employment. There already exists a wide variety of existing public service provision to meet the needs of young people in all these groups, but one of the key issues identified through consultation was that the different programmes are not sufficiently joined up, leaving young people at risk of dropping out, particularly at key transition points. A main purpose of ‘Pathways to Success’ is, therefore, to help bring coherence to existing provision, while considering the need for new interventions to fill gaps, to signpost and to support young people in taking up the various programmes.
