East Lothian Council
Helping all young people in East Lothian find work, training or further study after school is a key benefit of the 16+ Data-Hub, according to the area's local authority.
Alison Hood, East Lothian Council's Team Leader (Employability) explains: "We now send the Data-Hub reports to all six high schools in East Lothian ahead of our 16+ Hub meetings.
At those meetings, we use the data to inform our 'red-amber-green' system as part of the post-school destination analysis. It helps us learn who is 'green', in other words, who already has or is certain to have a positive destination, and to highlight those who are 'red' - those young people who, for a variety of reasons, don't have a job, a place at college /university or training post lined up.
