Access to schools for education and training providers

Overview

We’d like your views on proposed changes to statutory guidance for schools on access for education and training providers to year 8-13 pupils

Why your views matter

Through the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022, we are strengthening the statutory requirement for schools to provide opportunities for providers of technical education and apprenticeships to talk to year 8-13 pupils to discuss their education and training options.

We're seeking views on proposed revisions to the statutory careers guidance that underpins this legal duty. The guidance explains:

• the changes to the law 
• what schools must do to comply
• the support available to help schools to deliver high quality provider encounters for young people.
