Gatsby Benchmarks
The Gatsby Benchmarks define what good careers provision looks like in schools and colleges in England.
They provide a clear framework for planning, delivering and reviewing careers education, covering areas such as leadership, labour market information, employer encounters, work experience and personal guidance.
The Benchmarks are embedded in statutory guidance and form the backbone of the national careers system.
