The following table shows the estimated number of young people aged 16-18 who were not in education, employment or training (NEET) in each local authority area and region. These figures are drawn from the operational client management systems maintained by Connexions Services. Connexions services do not report figures at constituency level or on young people aged under 21 or under 25 years.
The figures include 16-18 year olds known to the Connexions; young people who attended independent schools or were at school outside England may be excluded. The age relates to those of calendar year age 16-18 on the date of measurement. The figures are for the average percentage NEET between November 2006 and January 2007.
This NEET measure is that used for setting and monitoring local authority NEET targets. The definition differs from that used to measure the national departmental PSA NEET target. Along with not covering the entire population, the Connexions NEET measure excludes those on gap years, or in custody. The PSA measure is for academic rather than calendar age 16-18.
