- Why this matters – outlines why this benchmark should be a focus and how it contributes to outstanding careers provision.
- What this means in practice – guidance and steps that schools can follow to meet the benchmark.
- Top tips for schools – actionable tips on how to start to delivering the benchmark.
- Top tips for employers – actionable tips for your employer partners in supporting benchmark delivery.
