Who We Are

We are Ealing Council Connexions Service. We support all young people in the borough aged 13-19 (and up 25 for those with an Educational Health Care Plan) to make informed choices about education, employment and training.

Ealing Council Connexions Service has a responsibility to support all young people aged 16-18 and to ensure they are in education and/or employment. Currently we are contacting young people to help support them with their plans in September 2024.

You may have received a call or letter already from someone in our team asking about your plans, but if not, please share what you are doing in September?

(Please note, sometimes our Connexions team may call in the evenings or weekends.)

If you are not sure, or you may need some extra support to return to education, employment or training, then please let us know in the survey below as our team can help with this.

 

What Are You Doing Now?

If you prefer to call us with this information instead, or speak to a staff member directly, then please call Saira between 8-12pm Mon-Fri on 020 8825 9645
