Strategy for youth support programmes
• Influence national and regional commissioners and
shape priorities
• Achieve integrated commissioning of support
programmes for young Londoners
• Align programmes so that more young people
benefit, succeed and progress into other learning
and jobs
• Share data and intelligence to improve programme
performance and better meet needs
Sustainable solutions
• Mainstream provision (there’s over £1b of it…)
• Preventative support
• Information, advice and guidance
• Targeted support
• Supported entry into employment
• ‘Wrap-around’ support
… choices and progression routes
Using RPA
• Supporting vulnerable groups
– impartial IAG
– local provision reflects young people’s aspirations
– transition support
• Retaining 17 year olds in learning & training
– more efficient tracking and earlier intervention
– a greater insight into the local youth labour
market
