Depending on the nature of any such services being commissioned, this could be through a number of different sub-teams. There are no specific services commissioned solely around NEET in relation to young people aged 16-24yrs. There are commissioned services such as Supported Accommodation services targeted at specific cohorts of young people that include key performance indicators around supporting young people into EET.

There is a generic email address for the service: childrens_commissioning@lincolnshire.gov.uk
