Staff often worked for hours “chapping doors” to speak to youngsters
West Lothian council has tracked more than 8,000 of its school leavers to record the positive destinations.
The dataset showed 94.8% of 16 - 19 year olds were recorded as participating in education, training or employment in April 2023. This was 1.4 percentage points more than in 2022, and places West Lothian 13th in Scotland. All schools operate a robust tracking system to track young people’s initial post school intended and actual destination. A Participation Partners Group which was set up 5 years ago to reduce the number of young people with an unconfirmed status has continued to expand, involving more partners. This group has put in place a variety of systems and staff to more effectively track the post school destinations of young people.
Mr McKay said: “We have been working with a number of partner organisations plus a number of teams within West Lothian Council involved in tracking these young people and we resort to chapping doors at the end of the day to find out where they are. Staff have been prepared to go above and beyond to track destinations.”
