Dear Robert Gore
On 5 September 2021, you emailed the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry)
requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following
information:
•
Number of young people not in education, employment or training in the
Waitakere Ranges Local Board Area and the Whau Local Board Area.
The Youth Service for young people Not Employment, Education or Training (NEET)
aims to help them into education, training or work-based learning, so they gain the
skills to find a job and have an independent future.
It’s a voluntary service that steps in early to help young people build their potential,
through the support of dedicated community services who work alongside them to
strengthen their confidence and resilience.
The Ministry does not hold information on the number of youth NEET in local board
areas. However, to meet the intent of your request please see below,
Table One,
which shows the number of clients enrolled as NEET with Youth Services Support Units
as at the end of June 2021, broken down by Auckland service centre.

Notes:
•
NEET is 'not in education, employment or training'
•
The locations listed are Auckland Work and Income service centres, which are listed as the client’s
address.
•
To protect confidentiality the Ministry uses processes to make it difficult to identify an individual
person or entity from published data.
•
These data tables have had random rounding to base three applied to al cel counts in the table.
•
The impact of applying random rounding is that columns and rows may not add exactly to the given
column or row totals.
• The published counts wil never differ by more than two counts.
The principles and purposes of the Official Information Act 1982 under which you made
your request are:
• to create greater openness and transparency about the plans, work and
activities of the Government
• to increase the ability of the public to participate in the making and
administration of our laws and policies
• to lead to greater accountability in the conduct of public affairs.
This Ministry fully supports those principles and purposes. The Ministry therefore
intends to make the information contained in this letter available to the wider
public. The Ministry will do this by publishing this letter on the Ministry of Social
Development’s website. Your personal details will be deleted and the Ministry will not
publish any information that would identify you as the person who requested the
information.
