From 2016 onwards data around those who are NEET has been collected in a new way, taking in to account those whose status is not known. At December 2016 the Brighton & Hove combined figure for academic age 16 and 17 year olds who are NEET and for those whose status is not known is 4.9%, which is a continued improvement on previous performance. We compare very favourably to South East (8.9%) and England (9.5%) and continue to perform better than our statistical neighbours (9.9%).
