NEETs Tracking Team
If you are a young person who is not in education, employment or training (NEET), you can contact the NEET Tracking Team for help and information, or they might contact you. Where it is appropriate, they can refer you to relevant services too.
In addition to this, if you have withdrawn from college/sixth form after enrolling, your parent/carer may be entitled to the 20 week extension period of Child Benefit - for which you would need to register with the NEET Tracking Team so they can give you the dates and information to enable your parent/carers to complete the form.
Email the team on post16@eastriding.gov.uk with your name and postcode and the adviser for your area will get back to you.
