Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Completed

Inclusion Criteria

1. Approx 84 young people (aged between 16-19 and who are potential school leavers) and their families will be recruited through data stored by Education Leeds
2. Young people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds will be included
3. Both males and females will be included

Exclusion Criteria

1. Young people who have already had an integrated needs assessment in the last three years (as this will confound the results)
2. Young people who are currently residing full time in a residential home, run by social services (as we would not be able to obtain a true picture of the needs of the carer and the young person may not have a single allocated carer to provide us with the needs of the person)
3. Young people who are terminally ill will also be excluded from this group
