South Lanarkshire Council Community Planning Partnership Report (Dec 2015) 3 of 29 Foreword Welcome to the December 2015 Community Planning Partnership Report providing you and your other local partners, with analysis of key information specific to your Community Planning Partnership area. This includes: - Initial School Leaver Destinations - 2014-15 - Links to the most recently published National Training Programme participation and outcomes (Q2 2015-16) - Analysis of those with a status of Unemployed seeking (as at 1st December 2015) We hope this analysis will be useful in helping to inform your planning in support of your youth employment strategies and wider Community Planning Partnership outcomes. As you may be aware, the first annual Participation Measure report was published by SDS in August. This report, and its accompanying data tables, covers all 16-19 year olds and may provide you with additional information of value at a local and national level. We are committed to working in partnership and sharing information that supports our joint work to secure the best opportunities for people in your area. We’d be delighted to receive your feedback on this report and suggestions for future reports at [email protected]. Damien Yeates Chief Executive, Skills Development Scotland South Lanarkshire Council Community Planning Partnership Report (Dec 2015) 4 of 29 Report Section 1: Initial School Leaver Destinations 2014/15 Background In August 2015, Skills Development Scotland (SDS) published the first participation measure for 16 – 19 year olds in Scotland, a publication identified as ‘experimental statistics - data being developed’. The measure reports on the learning, training and work activity of 16-19 year olds in Scotland. As part of the development work for the participation measure it was agreed SDS would continue to supply school leaver destination data to the Scottish Government’s Education Analysis Unit (SGEAS) for their annual national statistics publication and to update Insighti, the online benchmarking tool for Scottish local authorities and secondary schools. The statistical extracts for both the participation measure and the destination of school leavers are taken from the shared data set held by SDS on our customer support system (CSS). Multi-partner data sharing and direct input by SDS staff are the key components of creating and maintaining this shared dataset. The status information has been gathered through the use of shared administrative data from local authorities, colleges, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) and the SDS Corporate Training System combined with direct follow up of 16-19 year old customers by SDS staff. Given the increased reliance on shared data, in 2015 SDS moved to an ongoing case management approach to following up school leavers in place of the traditional telephone survey method of establishing pupil destinations. Within the context of Opportunities for All, the follow up of 16-19 year olds, including school leavers, is an integral part of our approach to managing customers from school through their initial and subsequent transitions. Given the greater focus on all 16-19 year olds, the practice of following up leavers at two specific points within the year has been replaced by ongoing follow up throughout the year. Although this is a change in the follow- up process, the results remain comparable with previous years. School Leaver Definitions The 2014/15 cohort includes leavers from publicly funded secondary schools who left school between 1st August 2014 and 15th September 2015. These dates will be used on a one–off basis only. In the future the school leaver cohort will be based on leavers who left school between the third Wednesday of September and the third Tuesday in September the following year. This report is based on status information held on the shared dataset. Statuses are updated on the shared dataset on an ongoing basis and the status used within the destination snapshot is from the first Monday in October (5th October 2015). Differences in reporting methodology In 2014, SGEAS introduced a new definition to report on school leavers within Insight and their national statistics publication. Following consultation with the users of our publications, it was agreed we would continue to use the same reporting methodology as used in our previous publications. It is this methodology, based on the follow up leaver extract, which is used by Scotland Performs to report on the national indicator - “Increase South Lanarkshire Council Community Planning Partnership Report (Dec 2015) 5 of 29 the proportion of young people in learning, training or work”. The current national indicator reports on leavers from publicly funded secondary schools. Further information can be found in the Background Notes. Analysis The analysis that follows is based on data recorded about leavers from the shared data set held on the SDS customer support system (CSS). Leavers that were identified as having moved out with Scotland are excluded. This report relates to the 3,332 leavers from publicly funded secondary schools in South Lanarkshire Council. Section 1: Overview – Main Findings Overall the percentage of leavers entering a positive destinationii is 93.0%, a rise of 0.7 percentage points (pp)iii in comparison to 2013/14. This is 0.1pp above the national average of 92.9%. South Lanarkshire Council is 20th out of 32 local authorities for the percentage of leavers entering a positive destination. The percentage of leavers entering higher education (HE) is 42.3% which is 4.0pp higher than the national average of 38.3% and is the 5th highest percentage of leavers entering HE in Scotland. In comparison to 2013/14 this is a rise within the authority of 2.1pp. The percentage of leavers entering further education (FE) has risen by 0.3pp to 24.5% which is 3.3pp lower than the national average of 27.8%. The percentage of leavers entering employment has fallen by 0.4pp since 2013/14 to 20.0%. This percentage is 1.7pp below the national average of 21.7%. The percentage of leavers entering training has fallen by 0.7pp to 4.7% and is the 10th highest percentage of leavers entering training in Scotland and is 0.9pp above the national average (3.8%). The percentage of leavers who are unemployed seekingiv is 5.4%, 1.1pp lower than in 2013/14. This is the same as the national average (5.4%). School leavers whose destination is unconfirmedv is 0.3% this year. This is 0.2pp higher than last year and is 0.2pp lower the national average of 0.5%.

    Sites adjacent to the former Nerston Residential School, Glasgow Road, East Kilbride – Disposal approved. 16 With reference to the minutes of 14th August 2014 (Print 3 page 229) approving the disposal of the development site at the former Nerston Residential School, Glasgow Road, East Kilbride to Cala Management Ltd (CALA), there was submitted a report by the Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services regarding proposals by City Property (Glasgow) LLP in relation to 2 adjacent sites, advising that (1) the 2 sites, which were owned by the Council, were designated as greenbelt within the South Lanarkshire Local Plan 2009 and Site A comprised of low lying marsh land and Site B was held on an agricultural tenancy for grazing use by Mr David Leggat, a local farmer; (2) within the marketing brief for the sale of the former Nerston Residential School, interested parties were invited to submit proposals which included the 2 adjacent sites as part of a development scheme or through supporting green space for residential development and CALA’s proposal had been to utilise Site A for the placement of supporting utilities, including a sustainable urban drainage system pond, a pumping station and a temporary car park; (3) CALA had advised that the most cost effective way of draining the northern section of the former school site was for a drainage pipe to be installed through Site B to connect to the nearest drainage ditch and during negotiations with Mr Leggat regarding a servitude right for the installation of drainage pipes required by CALA Management Ltd, he had indicated that he wished to acquire Site B to continue farming on it; and (4) following negotiations, it was proposed that Site A be sold to CALA for £5,000 exclusive of VAT and that Site B be sold to Mr Leggat for £30,000 exclusive of VAT.
