Information, advice and guidance in the community

Stockport Family’s Education and Careers Advice Service (ECAS) caseload and support all young people aged 16 and 17 who are not in education, employment or training (NEET). The Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) requires all young people under the age of 18 to stay in learning.

ECAS:

  • engage with young people to make sure that they're supported into sustainable education, employment and training.
  • continue to support young people up to the age of 25 with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) who are not in education
  • offer on-going careers guidance where it's established that a young person is not in education, employment or training (NEET)
