Tracking Young People

KCC has a statutory duty to track the learning and employment activities of all young people up to the age of 19, or up to the age of 25 for those with learning difficulties, and report monthly to the DfE. As this is a statutory duty, education institutions have a duty to provide information to support this process.

Effective tracking by KCC is critical to:

  • secure sufficient suitable education and training provision for all young people aged 16 to 19 and for those aged 20 to 24 with a Learning Difficulty Assessment in their local area
  • encourage, enable and assist young people to participate in education or training; tracking young people’s participation successfully is a key element of this duty. As well as new duties for 16 and 17 year olds under Raising the Participation Age (RPA)
  • promote the effective participation in education and training of young people in their area
  • establish the identities of young people failing to fulfil the duty to participate in education and training.

Therefore, your cooperation and support in sending us the correct information, using the templates below, is much appreciated.
