The offer should be appropriate to the young person’s needs and can include:
full-time education in school sixth-forms or colleges
an apprenticeship or traineeship
employment combined with part-time education or training

Footnotes
In 2019, local authority figures for Reading should be used with caution due to administrative issues.
In 2020, local authority figures for Bristol, Swindon, Shropshire and Worcestershire should be used with caution due to system issues or administrative errors.
In 2021 and 2022 Thurrock local authority have slightly over 100% offers made recorded. This is due to additional young people being added after the September Guarantee cohort is fixed, mainly refugees.
In 2022 the figures for Nottinghamshire local authority may not reflect the actual proportion of young people receiving an offer due to significant procedural and processing issues.
