Abstract

This document is divided into three sections. Part A consists of a literature review that explores the background and current research surrounding YP who are at risk of becoming NEET. The first half includes a narrative review which aims to provide a summary of the historical, political and social context of the NEET agenda. Included within this section is a discussion about the definition of being NEET, current prevalence, psychological underpinnings and an overview of current preventative and responsive support. The second half includes a systematic literature review which aims to critically evaluate what current EP focused research has found is important to supporting YP who are at risk of becoming NEET. Part B is the empirical study which aimed to explore how YP in Wales who are at risk of becoming NEET are supported by multi-professionals and how this could be enhanced. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with three different professional groups who were recruited from four different LAs in Wales. The interviews sought to explore what is currently working and how could support be improved, as well as considering how EPs could be further involved. Part B includes the methodology, outcomes and discussion in relation to these research questions. Part C contains a critical appraisal of this thesis, including an analysis of the research journey and the decisions made. This section will also address how this research contributes to current knowledge. Further exploration will be offered about the methodology, theoretical assumptions, participants and recruitment, data analysis and how the researcher intends to disseminate the results.
