• Over three-quarters <strong>of</strong> all young people recalled having a<br />
discussion <strong>with</strong> someone from the Careers Service or<br />
Connexions about their future.<br />
• <strong>Young</strong> people in Connexions areas were slightly more<br />
likely to report that their formal careers discussion had<br />
been helpful compared to those in non-Connexions areas.<br />
• <strong>Young</strong> people are most likely to report that their parents<br />
were the most helpful to them when making their post-<strong>16</strong><br />
transitions from compulsory schooling.<br />
• The majority <strong>of</strong> parents and carers feel that they received<br />
little help or information from the young person’s school<br />
regarding post-<strong>16</strong> options.<br />
• Most young people taking part in the survey have a<br />
positive regard for their time at school and many report<br />
positive s<strong>of</strong>t outcomes.<br />
• Many young people, however, report that school did not<br />
help them to decide what they wanted to do next.<br />
• Most young people received some sort <strong>of</strong> hard outcomes<br />
from school ie qualifications and certificates.<br />
• <strong>Young</strong> people <strong>with</strong> statements <strong>of</strong> SEN, who attended a<br />
special school, and those <strong>with</strong> behavioural, emotional or<br />
social development needs were least likely to have gained<br />
qualifications from school.<br />
