It was a pleasure to speak in this morning’s debate on careers guidance in schools – a subject I care deeply about.
Thank you to my colleague Mark Jenkinson MP for bringing the Education (Careers Guidance in Schools) Bill forward, which extends the requirements for schools to provide careers guidance to children in year 7 and above.
Careers guidance plays a vital role in the development of young people, allowing them to make decisions about their future education, career and training from an informed position.
I’m really pleased the Government have decided to support this Bill.
