Sefton Council has been named in the top ten of local authorities across the entire country for helping young people who are not in education, employment or training.
Figures were released recently by the Department for Education showing the annual publication of national participation figures of young people aged 16 to 18.
Statistics were also released of NEET (not in education, employment or training) and NET (not in education or training) figures based on results from the annual labour force survey (LFS).
Latest figures collected locally reveal Sefton is currently ranked 144 out of 152 local authorit- ies.
Rankings are national comparisons from 1-152 where number one equals worst performance and 152 equals best in that indicator. National figures will be released later in the year.
Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council’s Labour Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Skills, said:
“There is some fantastic work that is provided across Sefton in helping and supporting young people find work, training and staying in the education process.”
