Raising Participation/Destination
Measures. Developments in Kent

What is RPA?
From summer 2013, young people will be required to continue in education or
training until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17. From 2015,
they will be required to continue until their 18th birthday.
Young people will choose how they participate post-16, which could be
through:
– Full-time education, such as school or college or home education
– An apprenticeship
– Part-time education or training if they are employed, self employed or
volunteering full time (which is defined as 20 hours or more a week).
Concise statutory guidance for local authorities is to be published in Autumn
2012 which may be supported by additional legislation

RPA key issues
The Skills and Employability Team has undertaken a detailed analysis
of the 16-8 cohort and identified barriers to participation. The initial
findings have identified a number of key issues:
Early intervention
Tracking young people
Supporting vulnerable learners
Developing employability skills
Raising Aspiration, Achievement and Attitude through CEIAG
Realigning the post 16 offer
Improving engagement in the Year 13 age group
Employer engagement
Communication with young people, parents, carers and employers
New ways of working to deliver RPA in
Kent – roles and responsibilities
The role of the LA through the Employability and Skills Team is to
provide leadership, influence and Strategic direction to help
providers develop their own local solutions.
Delivering RPA will be dependant on local providers developing
solutions in partnership with others in their area.
The Employability and Skills Service
To support this process the Employability and Skills Service has:
– established 4 RPA pilots in Kent which will become district
centres of good practice.
–
–
–
–
–
–
3 Participation and Progression Officers to support schools
Created a RONI (Risk of NEET Indicator)
A research and development team
3 Employability Programmes Officers
An ongoing review on it’s support for apprenticeship
Continued it’s commitment to kentchoices4u and kentchoices
live.
– Launched Raising the Participation Age week
Raising the Participation Age Week
5-9th November 2012
RPA Week will coincide with the launch of kentchoices4u.
Aim:
To ensure all Year 11 learners, their parents/carers, teachers and
tutors at FE Colleges and work based learning providers are aware that
the current Year 11 is expected to stay in learning or training in the
academic year in which they turn 17.
RPA week
The letters to parents/carers and learners regarding kentchoices4u
included an RPA flyer.
A letter was sent to Head Teachers/Principals/WBL Managers in
October asking them to circulate RPA information to their staff.
An RPA PowerPoint presentation and other RPA materials were made
available to teaching staff who attended the recent kentchoices4u
Training sessions
Specific RPA pages have been developed on kentchoices4u, where
Resources can be downloaded

An update was circulated on the e-bulletin to schools.
Wider support by the Employability
learning and Skills Directorate
The PRU review
The SEN review
The Kent Integrated Adolescent Support Services pilots
(Dartford, Thanet, Tunbridge Wells and Ashford)
Key questions for schools and other pre
16 providers:
Have sufficient arrangements been made to secure independent
impartial careers guidance for all pupils in Year 9-11?
How do schools ensure their learners are equipped to successfully
participate and progress beyond 18, whichever pathway they choose at
16?
Have early intervention strategies for those who at risk of becoming
NEET been developed?
Have strategies to support transition at 17 been developed?
Are there clear 14-19 pathways that learners can easily understand?
Are robust partnerships in place to deliver the 14-19 pathways?
The Destination Measure
Education Destination Measures were published for the first time on
17th July 2012 as experimental data.
The KS4 Measure is based on activity at academic age 16 (i.e. the year
after the young person left compulsory schooling).
The Key Stage 5 (KS5) Measure is based on activity in the year after
the young person took A level or equivalent qualifications.
The Measures are based on participation in education or training in all
of the first two terms (defined as October to March) of the year after the
young person left KS4 or took A level or an equivalent
