The macro challenge for careers professionals:
1. The careers and inspiration policy is very narrow interpretation of what good careers guidance is about
2. The government has marginalised the roles of careers educators and advisers, choosing to promote the role of employers but failing to recognise the need for balance in careers provision
3. The lack of clear curriculum advice and guidance is undermining innovation and development in schools and colleges
4. The role of the National Careers Service in the support for young people
Good CEIAG and the Statutory Duty:Is there any link at all?
1. Sufficient levels of funding must be in place to ensure of a clear and unequivocal Statutory Duty
2. Clear standards must be stated and supported by government for providers. Practitioners must hold membership of the UK Register of Career Development Professionals. Schools/colleges must secure a nationally recognised QiCs Award
3. A curriculum leader is needed to drive developments in schools, supported by CPD for teachers and trainee teachers
4. Ofsted must ensure strong and effective accountability at school and college level
5. The Statutory Guidance must be revised so there can be no room for misunderstanding or avoidance
