A sensory pack of career lesson ideas for PMLD Learners for them to explore the world of work.

This is the first insight guide focused on providing careers advice and support for young people and sharing what has worked in the Opportunity Areas so that other areas can benefit from this insight.

This guide is for school leaders and careers leaders to support preparation for the Education Inspection Framework (2019).  The guide also provides Enterprise Advisers and Governors with key questions to support strategic careers planning.
