Proportion of 16 and 17 year olds without SEND (no EHC plan or statement, no SEN support) recorded as not in education, employment or training (NEET), or their activity was not known (15743) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the proportion of 16 and 17 year olds recorded as not in education, employment, or training (NEET) without special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) or SEN support known to the local authority. This includes where their activity is not known. Anyone with a either an education, health and care (EHC) plan or a statement of special educational need (SEN), or had an EHC plan or statement of SEN at the time of completing compulsory education are therefore excluded. Young adult offenders in custody are excluded from the denominator used to calculate participation, NEET and not known rates.
The age of the learner is measured at the beginning of the academic year, 31 August. The annual figure is made from an average of December, January and February.
This includes young people educated in other authority areas, students living away during term time. Young people who were not educated in the maintained sector will only be included if they are known to the LA. Since April 2018, the NCCIS management information requirement stated that LAs should record the activity of refugee/asylum seekers in the same way as the rest of the cohort. Prior to 2016 local authorities were required to also track 18 year olds but this requirement was lifted.
Where a young person's current activity is recorded as any of the following then their activity at the end of the month is categorised as NEET: Working not for reward; Not yet ready for work or learning; Start date agreed (RPA compliant or Other); Seeking employment, education or training; Not available to labour market/learning - carer, teenage parent, illness, pregnancy, religious grounds, unlikely ever to be economically active. The following are included in the overall NEET/NK figures: Current situation not known; Cannot be contacted/no current address; Refused to disclose activity.
