With 3 days to go a child can face it challenging the idea of returning to Education or training.
In Lincolnshire Taxis are provided to get the child to the Training provider.These Taxis are shared with other childen. The funding of the Education of a teenager and the complexity of funding.
The child may make many decisions based on who is at the establishment rather than the Quality of the training or type of training. there is a drop our rateof the youngsters as in the past the children had a less than effective engagement. Recent changes include a ban on smoking which is to make it more relateable to the work place.
Many of these youngsters may know each other at these establishments. This may come as something of a shock to parents but the world is small.
The structure by nature of the establishment is different due the situation that the teenager is coming from. Exclusion. In many cases the child will have been excluded from school or will have had some form of challenge with the school environment. The school has limitations in the way they can deal with such issues and as I found out intervention is not always an option within some policies.
Initial Questions
My child's discussion with the Deputy Head of the provider didnt provide an insight. An understanding of options wasn't there.
I reflected on the career's advice I had had at his age..Mine was in the 1980's
The options then were different to the intial questioning that my child had
Are you interested in Engineering?
Answer-Dont know
Are you interested in computers?
Answer suppose
Reality from a NEET teenager is that they are not likely to be sure of their capabilities or abilities. Why would they.The lack of experience through lack of attending school has left them missing out. The uphill climb of engagement, motivation and direction starts next week
