To help employers understand dyslexia, how to treat employees as individuals, and how to make reasonable adjustments for them so they can thrive in the workplace, we’ve collaborated alongside the DM Trust and specialists to create a detailed guide.

Example strategic careers plan from The Link School, Sunderland (AP).

This strategy covers 2021-2024 and was updated January 2021.

The strategy outlines the school’s vision for careers and the main aims of careers provision at the school.

Detail includes: vision, SWOT analysis strategic objectives and key actions. The School’s Provider Access policy is also included.

Through the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) strengthened the provider access legislation to specify that schools must provide at least six encounters for all their pupils, during school years 8-13. 

To support schools and providers, the DfE has compiled a collection of good practice examples and case studies of how the statutory duty applies in practice to enable schools and providers to understand the new legal requirements.
