Official national and regional estimates of the number of young people aged 16-24 not in education, employment or training (NEET) for England and the UK are taken from the labour force survey. Because this is survey data it cannot be disaggregated to local authority level due to sample sizes.

Local authorities are required to monitor and record the extent to which young people are meeting their duty to participate in education or training and provide local statistics to the department. This information is published on GOV.UK as transparency data and is available via the following links.
