Careers Entitlement

Careers Entitlement

“Students are entitled to careers education, information, advice and guidance that meet professional standards of practice and are person-centred, impartial and confidential. It will be integrated into students’ experience of the whole curriculum and be based on a partnership with students and their parents or carers. The programme will promote equality of opportunity, inclusion and anti-racism. It should prepare all students to independently access Careers information advice and guidance. ”
