| Abstract |
|
The Connexions Service was launched in April 2001, with the aim of helping young people make informed choices and so aid a successful transition to adult life. It does this through improved partnership working and a network of Personal Advisers (PAs) - the key instrument in creating impact in young peoples lives. A primary target of the Connexions Service is to reduce the proportion of 16-18 year-olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) and it also contributes to other crosscutting targets. This study aimed to enhance understanding of the impact of the Connexions Service on young people, particularly those at risk of underachievement and disaffection. The report contains a wealth of information on how Connexions works well with young people at risk and why, and conversely the factors that inhibit its impact. It has wide ranging relevance to current debates about the configuration of services for children and young people. It also has messages about how alignment of services is created in social programmes and about methodological approaches to the evaluation of complex programmes. The analysis and illustrative examples are highly relevant for training purposes.
