Hounslow Connexions Service Update - Coronavirus (COVID-19) At Hounslow Connexions Service, our priority is the safety and well-being of young people in the borough and the colleagues who work so hard to support them. So, for the foreseeable future, services will be delivered online and over the phone rather than in person.

We will continue to provide the best support we can to help young unemployed people in Hounslow and their parents/carers.

The London Borough of Hounslow 14-19 team operates the Connexions service which provides careers information, advice and guidance (CIAG) to young people aged 14 – 19, or up to 25 for those with an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP).
Connexions offers a bespoke service to Hounslow secondary schools, Woodbridge Park Education Service, West Thames College, and other local specialist provision. A team of Careers Advisers deliver IAG to young people in Year 11 who may be at risk for becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) at the end of the year, or who may need additional support to help them apply for suitable training, apprenticeships or other courses. Year 12 and Year 13 pupils may also be identified for risk of NEET support by the school or provider. This role is additional to other careers support Hounslow secondary schools may offer their own pupils
Connexions also offers careers information, advice and support to pupils who have a recognised learning disability of difficulty and have an EHCP and require additional support to plan their future. These would usually be pupils in Year 11 or in the last year of compulsory education.
