  1. Raising Participation/Destination Measures. Developments in Kent CEIAG BriefingNovember 2012

  2. 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 Source: DfE, Facts for LAs – Jan 2012

  3. How many young people in Kent will be affected by RPA? First RPA cohort Activities of 16-18 cohort November 2011

  4. Vulnerable learners who are NEET or have an unknown destination

  5. Vulnerable learners who are NEET or have an unknown destination 419 or 86% of those whose status is unknown were identified as vulnerable in Year 11 626 or 33% of those whose status is NEET were identified as vulnerable in Year 11 In total 1045 or 25% of those learners whose status is NEET or Not known were identified as vulnerable in Year 11

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. Raising the Participation Age Week5-9th 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.

  10. 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 www.kentchoices4u.com/rpa An update was circulated on the e-bulletin to schools.

  11. 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)

  12. 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?

  13. 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
