Förlagets beskrivning
The UK Government is introducing a major new service - "Connexions", aimed
at providing support for young people during the transition from school to
employment, education or training. Although universal in theory, this service
will be targeted in particular at those young people most at risk of social
exclusion and disaffection. This report provides an account of a major evaluation of how existing
services reach - or overlook - groups of the most disaffected young people. It
focuses in particular on the needs and life experiences of young people from
minority ethnic groups and the processes of exclusion which they
experience. Key features of the report include: accounts of how disaffection begins
long before young people leave school, often provoked by traumatic events at
home; the additional difficulties, including racism, experienced by young
people within the public care system; the experience of young people living on
the margins of society after they leave school, and often unknown to official
agencies; and messages for those involved in developing "Connexions", including
the continuing problem of racism, the key role which played by voluntary sector
organisations, and the need for diversity and flexibility of provision. This report provides an agenda of research and policy issues which should
be of interest to those involved in understanding and responding to the needs
of both white and minority ethnic marginalised young people, including local
government, Learning and Skills Councils, careers advisors, youth and community
workers, and education and training providers. This report provides an account of a major evaluation of how existing
services reach - or overlook - groups of the most disaffected young people. It
focuses particular on the needs and life experiences of young people from
minority ethnic groups and the processes of exclusion which they
experience.
