Integrated Childrens Services

There are some 32,000 young people in Scotland who are not in education, employment or training.

Of those, around 24,000 need additional support to be able to move into learning or employment.

More Choices, More Chances aims to do this in five ways:

  

MCMC

 

  1. by ensuring that Curriculum for Excellence provides opportunities to young people under 16 that are tailored to individual need, with flexibility and appropriate support for every young person
  2. by ensuring that every young person has a clear pathway from school into learning post-16; with supported transitions and sustained opportunities
  3. by ensuring that learning is a financially viable option, by considering the financial support and incentives available to young people
  4. by ensuring that the right support is available to young people to find out about, engage with and sustain learning and employment
  5. by making a joint commitment to action between central and local government, employers, learning providers and support agencies to develop the service infrastructure required to meet the needs of vulnerable young people

16+ Learning Choices seeks to ensure that all young people, well in advance of reaching their statutory school leaving date are made an offer of appropriate post-16 learning. This development is central to the delivery of Curriculum for Excellence in realising the Scottish Government's commitment to improving participation rates and learning post-16. It is a key strategy to ensure that we increase the proportion of school leavers in positive and sustained destinations on leaving school.
