How we measure impact
We regularly evaluate the impact of our careers programme using Compass+, the Future Skills Questionnaire (FSQ), student, parent/carer and employer feedback, participation records, intended and actual destination data and sustained destination information. This information is used to identify strengths, target support and continually improve our careers provision.
