                   New arrangements for careers education
                       and careers guidance in schools
    One-day courses for school senior leaders and careers coordinators

From 2012:
   new statutory duty to secure impartial careers guidance from external providers
   statutory duties to teach careers education and work-related learning removed
   schools free to choose how best to meet the needs of their pupils and students

In practice the main decisions, particularly those with implications for the school budget,
will need to be made in the spring term 2012.

   adviser to DCSF and lead writer of the Quality Standards for Young People’s IAG (2007)
   lead associate for IAG at the SSAT (2008-10).

The Education Bill proposes a new duty on schools in England to secure independent careers
guidance for pupils, provided by persons other than those employed at the school; it also removes
the requirement to teach careers education. The Bill is likely to be given Royal Assent in the
autumn and the new statutory duties will come into effect from September 2012.

Overleaf you will find details of a series of one-day courses David will lead to help schools prepare for
these changes.
Please note that these courses are repeats of the six similar courses attended by over 100 people in May
and June 2011
