Connexions
Connexions is the government's support service for all young people aged 13 to 19 in England.
The service aims to provide integrated advice, guidance and access to personal development opportunities for this group and to help them make a smooth transition to adulthood and working life. The success of Connexions depends on the involvement of young people - listening to and taking account of their views in the design and delivery of Connexions will be essential.
