Help to progress with the NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) to EET (Engagement in education, employment and training) journey
About us
This information is for Somerset residents to help you progress with your Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) to Engagement in education, employment and training (EET) journey.
We support young people 15 to 18 years old who are currently not in education, employment or training. We hope our offer will help to develop both academically and in confidence.
On this page, you will find information and links to services and opportunities that make it easier for you to access the support available in our one-stop shop.
Referrals
We have recently changed the way you request support for children and young people. If you are looking for advice for a young person at risk of becoming NEET , a referral form is no longer required.
Advice and guidance can be sought through the Inclusion Advice Line on 0300 123 2224 or through the upcoming Transition Panels.
Please note Somerset Works no longer exists in its current form. Somerset Works Transition Coordinators have become Learning Mentors in the newly formed Virtual School. Most of the existing Somerset Works offer will feature in the new Virtual School. Further information will be shared on the service changes and virtual school offer.
Information and support
Imagining the possibilities
This Family Guide PDF contains an creative range of new post-16 options resources. The resources have been produced to help families, teachers and students navigate the processes of moving from school into the many different post-16 options that are available.
This guide is especially useful for those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities.
Mental health support
If you are worried about someone’s mental health, like a family member, friend, or someone you care for, it can feel quite worrying and you might not know what to do.
If you are worried about someone, there are many ways to get help. You can visit the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust website for advice and support.
