The purpose of processing
Realising Talent aims to reduce the number of young people at age 14 to 16 who are struggling at school and disengaging in transitions to education and training at post-16. It will achieve this by providing early intervention and support via a variety of programmes tailored to the individual, using different providers. This could include sport, outdoor activity, or work experience in retail, business and other sectors. The young people can also learn a variety of skills such as travel training, social skills and therapies as needed.

How is it used?
Statistical information about RT participation, and the effects on participants’ development will be analysed and reported on for the purpose of measuring the success of the Realising Talent approach and its methods. This will be used to inform Government decisions about whether to extend the use of the scheme to support people in other parts of the UK. The information will also be used for reporting purposes so that we can prove that our Government grant for this project is being used effectively, and in line with commitments. This statistical information will not include anything which could actually identify the young person, and so it cannot be used to make any decisions which could affect them directly or personally.
To assess the young person’s current situation (this is recorded as the starting point of your journey with RT)
To understand what kind of education or training/career path would suit the young person best (any skills that can be developed, as well as any particular needs or challenges)
To design, develop and implement a personalised action plan to support the individual journey (including learning, training, assistance and support services)
To track and evaluate progress and engagement along this path over time, including achieving targets on the Personal Plan and engagement with education and training/employment as suitable for the young person
To contact the young person/parent-carers after participation has ended to ask about their experience as a participant
