The results of our recent survey of 175 young people, to find out how they viewed the Connexions service in the West of England, highlighted the following:
95% felt that they were able to raise the issues they needed to.
· 96% said they received the help they needed.
· 92% said the session helped them to be able to take the next steps needed.
· 98% said that they would come to Connexions West again for help.
The survey also asked young people to identify the main things that they discussed with their personal adviser:
· 61% discussed going to college,
· 47% discussed finding a job,
· 38% discussed Apprenticeships,
· 34% discussed options choices.
In addition to the positive scores received above, young people were given the chance to add their own comments which included:
· Everything was good - I love Connexions!
· I have a great PA. She is the first person I contact when I need advice. She helped me get into college even when I thought it was too late.
· My PA has been massively helpful.
· My autism stops me from understanding things, I need to talk to my PA again about what will happen at college as it is scary.
· Really helped with A-level choices and going to university.
· I have found Connexions staff very supportive and helpful.
· My PA is amazing!
These results demonstrate that whatever is being said nationally a good and valued range of services are being offered by Connexions West.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
