Statutory Guidance for Schools and Colleges
Statutory guidance sets out what schools, colleges and training providers in England must do to deliver careers guidance.
It underpins the Gatsby Benchmarks and includes expectations around leadership of careers, access to education and training providers, inclusion, and modern work experience.
All schools and colleges are expected to have regard to this guidance when planning and delivering their careers programme.
