INQUIRY INTO YOUNG PEOPLE NOT IN EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT OR TRAINING
The Northern Ireland Assembly Committee for Employment and Learning has decided to hold an inquiry into young people (16-24) not in education, employment or training (NEET).
The questions below will form the Terms of Reference for the Committee’s Inquiry:
- What tend to be the characteristics, experiences and barriers common to those young people who are NEET and what prevention/intervention strategies might be useful to reduce their numbers?
- What kinds of best practice are available to those working with young people who are NEET and what has been shown to work particularly well in our local situation?
- How best might young people who disengage from the ‘system’ be tracked/monitored?
- What are the best and most useful elements of other Strategies for young people who are NEET that could be applied locally?
- What elements/funding would be required within a Strategy for young people who are NEET and what cross-departmental Action/Implementation Programmes are needed to address the situation?
Any organisation or individual with an interest in this issue is invited to submit written evidence by e-mail (in MS Word) to cel@niassembly.gov.uk on any or all of the questions within the Terms of Reference .
