Post 16 Detached Youth Worker Pilot

Grant funding has been provided by the Department for Education for the delivery of Post-16 Detached Youth Workers. There are four main outcomes which must be delivered against in the running of this Pilot, they are: Outcome 1 - Raise the profile of looked-after children and care leavers in FE by strengthening close working relationships and sharing expertise on the needs of this cohort. Outcome 2 - Improve the attendance of these young people in FE by putting in place tailored interventions to support attendance. Outcome 3 - Better support the delivery of Personal Education Plans, pathway plans or equivalent at both an individual and cohort level. Outcome 4 - Identify models of good practice used by LAs across the country to respond to individual and cohort level needs, building the evidence base of what works well to support looked-after children and care leavers in general FE colleges.
