Secondary (11 to 16)

Bexley Youth Advice (BYA) services

Bexley Youth Advice (BYA) is based at Bexleyheath Broadway (near the Bowling Alley). 

Bexley Youth Advice (BYA) can support young people who live in Bexley with careers and education information, advice, and guidance to find and access post-16 education if they are of year:

  • Year 11 age and not in a school setting, for example, because they are electively home educated
  • Year 12 or 13 age and not in education, employment, or training
  • Year 14 to 20 age, not in education, employment, or training, and have a Bexley maintained Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP)

Young people in year 11 who are eligible for support from BYA will have it offered through Bexley’s 14 to 19 Service.

If you’re in year 12 or 13 (or up to year 20 if you have a Bexley maintained EHCP), contact BYA directly to let them know you'd like help to find approved education or training, or drop in to their site between 10am to 3pm, Monday to Friday. 

The support from Bexley Youth Advice is provided by Shaw Trust on behalf of the London Borough of Bexley. You can find out more about Shaw Trust Youth on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
