To underpin their duties, local authorities should have in place robust and timely arrangements with partners for tracking young people’s participation, using their Client Caseload Information System to record this information and to identify those at risk of disengaging. This database also provides authorities with valuable information to plan and commission services to effectively target support for young people

Schools should work with local authorities to support them in recording young people’s post-16 plans and the offers they receive along with their current circumstances and activities

Our services are underpinned by three main principles that are integral to the way we operate and provide the foundations to apply proven Business Intelligence techniques:

• Data Quality
• Security
• Accessibility

We are able to provide information on:-

• Aspirations – what your students intend to do when they leave school/college.
• Participation – how your students move from compulsory education on to employment, training or further education.
• Local trend analysis – enabling performance to be compared
• Regional trend analysis – comparison data to monitor performance between local authority areas.

As part of our service to your school we will maintain records on any interventions our advisers carry out with your pupils including action plans and assessments. We also identify and record potential barriers to progress and activities planned to overcome these.

Additional Support

In addition we can provide:

• Governor and Parent packs including data on specialist subject progression
• Bespoke reports for your school/college to help inform strategic decisions
• Our database also holds information on opportunities including apprenticeships which allows us to offer;
• Vacancy matching – we are able to match young people’s careers choices / aspirations to job vacancies that are notified to us. This data supports progression reports and activity surveys.
• Employer contacts – we record information on all employers and training providers who inform us of the opportunities they have for young people
