  5. Key Careers Clauses in the Education Bill 2011 The Bill proposes: • The removal of the statutory requirement to provide careers education for Y7-11 with effect from September 2012 • A new duty on schools to secure independent and impartial careers guidance for Y9-11 with effect from September 2012. The duty includes providing information on 16-18 education or training options, including Apprenticeships

  6. Education Bill 2011 : CEG • Schools will have a new statutory duty from September 2012 to secure independent careers guidance for pupils in Years 9-11 (consultation on extending the duty down to Year 8 and up to Year 13) • ‘careers guidance’ is defined as impartial, including information on options in 16-18 learning and in the best interests of the pupils • ‘independent’ is defined as provided by persons other than those employed at / by the school

  7. Policy Developments • Local Authorities retain responsibility for transition planning from Y9 for young people with special educational needs and the completion of Section 139a Learning Difficulty Assessments • Role and responsibilities of the designated teacher for CLA (2009) includes setting out in the Personal Education Plan (PEP) 'how a child's aspiration and self confidence and ambition is being nurtured, especially in consideration of longer term goals towards further and higher education, work experience and career plans‘

  8. Policy Developments cont. • Youth Connexions must continue to track and record activity and non-activity (NEET 16-18) as prescribed by the Management Information Requirement Client Caseload Information System (CCIS) • Connexions-Direct, the Government's helpline for young people migrated to the Direct-Gov website and became a careers helpline with the same number as the Next Step helpline for adults (September 2011). • The Department announced in March that academies will be subject to the new careers guidance duty through their funding agreements.

  9. Policy Developments cont. • Statutory guidance for schools on their duty to be published early in the New Year. • The guidance will make it clear to schools that young people have much to gain from a face-to-faceexploration of their skills, abilities and interests • The Government will place a clear expectation on schools that they should secure face-to-face careers guidance where it is the most suitable support • The proposed destination measures will be a clear, outcome-based measure of the effectiveness of schools in meeting their new duty.

  10. KS4 and KS5 Destination MeasuresDfE suggestions, for 2012 and 2013 Key Stage 4 • % of pupils progressed to a positive destination within one year of ending KS4 • % sixth form • % FE college • % work-based learning or an apprenticeship • % employment Key Stage 5 • % of students progressed to a positive destination within one year of their 16-18 learning • % entered higher education at university (% went to Oxford or Cambridge) • % continued in further education • % entered employment

  11. Coalition: CEIAG Developments(November 2010) Announcement of an ‘all-age careers service’ for 13-19 young people and adults building on Connexions and Next Step fully operational by April 2012

  12. National Careers Service • The National Careers Service (NCS) will go live in April 2012. Schools will be able to commission careers guidance services from organisations providing the NCS…… For Adults – Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) • Online and helpline services • Face-to-Face careers guidance (free as funded to priority groups) For Young People – Department for Education (DfE) • Online and helpline services (funded) • Face-to-Face careers guidance services ‘on the open market’

  13. Quality • The statutory guidance will contain a clear description of the quality standard for careers guidance for schools in commissioning independent advice and support • The NCS will be required to meet the matrix quality standard and all providers involved in the service will be expected to be accredited to the standard by April 2013. • The ‘new’ Careers Professional Alliance (CPA) aims to increase the professionalism of those working in career guidance by introducing an online register for members who have reached a level 6 qualification.. This will be available from April 2012

  14. Quality cont. • The ‘new’ Ofsted framework which takes effect in January 2012 includes a descriptor for the overall effectiveness of a school. • When judging the quality of education provided in the school, inspectors must take into account the four main judgements and in addition must consider meeting the needs of SEN pupils, the promotion of SMSC (spiritual, social, cultural and moral development) and the progression and destinations of pupils when they leave school.

  19. The Future Decisions about the careers education, and careers guidance, young people will receive will be made by schools ….. Youth Connexionsretain the statutory duty to provide careers IAG until 2012 and, from 2012, they still have responsibility for support for more vulnerable young people, including the NEET and those with SEN/LDD New non-statutory CEG & WRL framework being written for release in 2012 – ‘one framework’

  20. The Future cont. • There will be a range of providers of careers guidance (NCS including Youth Connexions, private providers, individuals, etc.) • In view of the Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) up to the age of 17 by 2013 and 18 by 2015, a consultation is taking place this autumn on extending the duty on schools to secure independent and impartial careers guidance for Y8-13 with the view to commencement in September 2012.

  21. Issues to Consider What services would you want from an external provider of careers guidance? What arrangements will you make when your current (free) external IAG provider begins to charge for its services? How will you fund the necessary provision?
