About

IES is a leading independent centre for research and evidence-based consultancy in the UK. It specialises in employment, labour market and human resource policy and practice.

Its mission is to help bring about sustainable improvements in employment policy and human resource management by increasing the understanding and improving the practice of key decision makers in policy bodies and employing organisations.

Overview

We wanted to better understand the experiences of marginalised young people as they transition from education and training into good work.

To do this, we commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) to map national, devolved, regional and local-level support systems in England for young people with:

  • special educational needs and disabilities
  • experience of the care system
  • mental ill-health
  • and/or experience of the criminal justice system

This train line graphic shows the support available to four groups of marginalised young people as they transitioned through education and training into employment (England, 2024)
