NEET Prevention
Tackling NEET Toolkit
Connect your practical experience with a research informed framework for understanding the risks to NEEThood and how these risks interact with each other. Produced by the University of Bath in collaboration with SomersetWorks, this collection of resources are informed by recent research funded by the EU and include videos, intervention handbooks and case studies.
The resources and training materials have been produced for practitioners supporting young people who are NEET or at risk of becoming NEET. Organised into three modules, these workshops and resources:
- deepen understanding of the factors leading to NEEThood
- outline a range of effective intervention strategies
- give guidance on evaluating intervention to tackle NEEThood
