‘Careers guidance and access for education and training providers’ was updated by the Department for Education in September 2022. The main changes relate to the 2022 education act with careers now statutory from year 7 to 13 (previously 8-13) and The Act also establishes consistency across education settings by extending the statutory duty to academy schools and alternative provision academies in England. John Ambrose and Sue Day of Complete-Careers LLP and Career Mark have produced a brief commentary on the changes and a collection of quotes from the key paragraphs in document. They have also produced a two page summary of the ‘musts’, ‘expectations’ and ‘strong recommendations’.
We hope these summaries are of use, but would of course encourage you to read the guidance in full when you have the time to do so. A further update to the statutory guidance is due out Autumn 2022 following a summer consultation process.
