The programme
The NEET Agent
The frontline of DAESP ABC — the person, the method and the system that maps local opportunity in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
What it is
An agent for the people the system counts as NEET
NEET means not in education, employment or training. It is a label, not a description of a person. The NEET Agent works the other way round: start with the person, find the passion and purpose, then go and find or create the opportunity that fits.
Greenwich pilot
Why Greenwich, and why first
Local depth
One borough, mapped properly — Woolwich, Plumstead, Thamesmead, Charlton, Eltham and beyond — rather than a thin national listing.
Complement, not duplicate
We work alongside existing local provision. Where something already works, we point to it rather than compete with it.
Built to expand
The model and the system are designed so other boroughs can be activated once Greenwich is proven.
Routes in
Every route feeds one record
However you meet us — on the street, in a classroom, at an event or online — you enter the same map.
- Street outreach across the borough
- Schools and colleges
- Jobcentre and community settings
- Events and pop-ups
- Business visits and employer outreach
- Online mapping from your phone
Gatekeeper
The agent stays in the middle — on purpose
Software does the ranking; a person makes the decisions. Introductions, safeguarding and next steps are always handled by The NEET Agent, never automated away.
