The proposed mentoring offer is intended to support 1125 young people in Years 8-10 (mainstream secondary schools) who are at risk of disengagement from education or becoming Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). The programme is expected to operate GM wide, with delivery potentially structured on a locality basis depending on need, provider capacity and delivery model.

Paid mentors will offer weekly mentoring sessions on school premises, support is expected to be delivered over an indicative period of approximately 26 weeks per participant, subject to final programme design.
