Background to the Governments Careers Strategy
The Government's Careers Strategy published on 4 December 2017, sets out a long-term plan to build a world class careers system that will help young people and adults choose the career that is right for them. The statutory guidance (updated October 2018) expands on this aim to make sure that all young people in secondary school get a programme of advice and guidance that is stable, structured, and delivered by individuals with the right skills and experience. To achieve this aim, the careers strategy sets out that every school and academy providing secondary education should use the Gatsby Charitable Foundation's Eight Benchmarks to develop and improve their careers provision. Although not a statutory framework, by adopting the Benchmarks schools can be confident that they are fulfilling their legal duties, however the Benchmarks go further by defining all the elements of an excellent careers programme, based on the best national and international research. The Government's expectation is that school begin to work towards the Benchmarks now and meet them by the end of 2020. Additionally, careers guidance will continue to be considered during Ofsted inspections, as set out in Ofsted's Common Inspection Framework and School Inspection Handbook.
