Successes for young people

Cabinet Member for Children and Learning Linda Kemeny has set out key successes after Surrey County Council launched an innovative way of improving young people’s services.

At a meeting of the Cabinet to sign off plans to continue the approach, she highlighted that Surrey:

• has the fewest young people classed as not in education, employment and training in the country
• saw a near 60% drop in the number of Surrey NEETs in five years
•  recorded a 90% fall in first-time offenders in four years.

The list of successes can be found on page three of a Cabinet report.
