What does it mean for Connexions partnerships?
A. Connexions is responsible for local activities to help the hardest-to-reach young people in their areas benefit from EMA. Connexions has links with some of the more disadvantaged and vulnerable young people. They are working with the ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) young people in particular and with Year 11 students most at risk of entering this group. They also work with schools to support careers education and guidance programmes and individual learning plans; to provide a coherent programme of careers education and guidance that includes information about EMA alongside other financial support such as transport, childcare and Discretionary Support Funds. They target those young people who can be motivated to return to learning or who are at risk of dropping out of learning.
