The latest OFSTED report on IAG Moving through the system has just been published and looks at the quality of IAG management and delivery across a number of LAs.
''There was considerable variation in the quality of advice and guidance and, in particular, a failure to meet the needs of some of the most potentially vulnerable young people''
''When careers education was provided by the schools themselves, its quality varied considerably and the provision was perfunctory in some of the schools visited. Not all the staff teaching it had enough knowledge or experience to do this effectively. The provision of information, advice and guidance about the options available to students at the age of 16 was not always sufficiently impartial.''
Unfortunately it makes slightly depressing reading but at least gives a clear set of recommnedations for LAs and schools to take forward and does have some positives such as links between Connexions and Schools which were seen to be positive.
''Links with the local Connexions service were productive in all the institutions visited and all the 18 secondary schools had written agreements''
So here is some Easter reading - ho ho
