Private Equity Foundation publishes “A Manifesto for Action”

Posted on April 8, 2011 by EVPA

Private Equity Foundation produced 10 recommendations on action for around 1 million young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) in the UK.

The ten recommendations include: 

1. Create better coordination – a ‘NEET taskforce’ could coordinate policy
2. Focus on prevention – resources allocated according to likelihood of being NEET
3. Publish transparent information on performance – objective comparisons of results drives improved delivery
4. Increase investment on NEET – longer-term financing for proven interventions
5. Reform Commissioning – increase collaboration between local authorities and service providers, create standard processes to reduce red tape
6. Grow the best provision – increase networked commissioning and business support for the best providers
7. Foster better links to employment – make it easier for employers to engage with young people
8. Support case management approach for those most at risk – this will help them to navigate the variety of support services they need
9. Improve information on local provision – create clear measures of success locally
10. Increase knowledge of what works – establish an anonymous database on the effectiveness of interventions
