Benchmark #1 Every school should have a stable, structured careers programme that has the explicit backing of the senior management team, and has an identified and appropriately trained person responsible for it. The careers programme should be published on the school’s website in a way that enables pupils, parents, teachers and employers to access and understand it. The programme should be regularly evaluated with feedback from pupils, parents, teachers and employers as part of the evaluation process.

Not just stuff! Your programme will be made up of lots of pieces. They all need to work together to deliver your vision. It should be coherent, progressive and programmatic.

Sharing your programme Don’t keep what you have done to yourself. Make it available though your website. This should provide information in an accessible way for parents, students, teachers and employers. Everyone should be able to get an overview of what you offer.
