Understanding the Impact of Connexions on Young People at Risk

This report contains detailed information on how the Connexions programme works well with young people at risk and why, and conversely the factors that inhibit its impact. Such an increase in our understanding of what is going on when successful progress takes place can inform the targeting of the service, the deployment of resources and the style of interaction with young people.

National Audit Office Report on Connexions, March 2004

This report concluded that whilst Connexions has made significant progress towards reducing the proportion of young people not in education employment or training, it does not always cater for the needs of those young people not at risk of disengagement. It also refers to a lack of clarity about the respective roles of schools and the Connexions service in providing advice to young people.
