Call, email or Facebook message the Halton team

We work on behalf of Halton Borough Council. They supply us with details of Year 11 and 12 school leavers (and up to age 25 if you have an EHCP) for whom there is no record of being in education, training or employment. We then make contact to ask if you would like our help to plan your next steps.

Our teams will always have photo ID – if you aren’t sure, you can check directly with the Halton 14-19 Team on 0151 551 8834 or 0303 333 4300.
