Quality in Careers Standard

The DfE statutory guidance (January 2023) for secondary schools and colleges on fulfilling their statutory duty builds heavily upon the eight Gatsby Benchmarks for 'good careers guidance'.
DfE strongly recommends all secondary schools and colleges work towards and achieve the national Quality in Careers Standard.
