The Social Exclusion Unit will be exploring the possibility over the next few months, through interviews with young people and visits to a number of service providers.
The research is being informed by a Department for Work and Pensions and Department for Education and Skills (DfES) analysis of the effectiveness of co-locating Connexions and Jobcentre Plus offices, based on several case studies.
Also under consideration is the possibility of co-locating Connexions and adult information advice and guidance services, which the DfES plans to rebrand. The research is part of the unit's study into services for vulnerable 16- to 25-year-olds.
