Securing independent careers guidance

Following a public consultation in 2012 on extending access to careers guidance, all further education colleges and sixth form colleges will be subject to a new requirement to secure access to independent careers guidance from September 2013.

The Department for Business Innovation and Skills and The Department for Education have published guidance for colleges to draw on when interpreting the new requirement and deciding on the most appropriate forms of independent and impartial careers guidance and other kinds of careers support for their students.
