May 2009

Dear colleagues,

Thank you for ensuring nearly all year 11s, year 12s and young people NEET have intended destinations. This information is now being used by the LSC and local authorities to agree what should be commissioned from colleges and other providers in the year ahead – to help supply and demand match. An additional thanks for all the creative support and guidance being provided to young people with no clear way forward!

Thankfully the Budget announced extra funding to cover courses to meet the September Guarantee.

Best wishes, Chris
