Good Career Guidance: The Next Ten Years

About the project

Good Career Guidance: The Next 10 Years

The Gatsby Foundation first published its Good Career Guidance report in 2014. Following a successful pilot in the North East of England testing the use of the report’s Benchmarks as a framework for careers guidance delivery in schools and colleges, they are now the bedrock of the Government’s careers guidance strategy and form part of Ofsted’s Education Inspection Framework. Their continued success is reflected in widespread adoption across the careers sector, uptake in schools and colleges, and their impact on outcomes for young people.

Throughout 2023, Gatsby is embarking on a significant programme of research and consultation to capture innovation, unpick challenges, and assess what, if any, refinement might be needed to ensure that the stability and impact offered by the Benchmarks framework sustains.

In this consultation survey you will have an opportunity to feedback on your experience of the Benchmarks framework and provide your thoughts on how the framework continues to be applicable and deliver impact.

• If you work for a school, MAT, are a governor or trustee in a school or MAT or are a careers adviser working predominantly with one or more school then please complete survey A.
• If you work for a college, college group, are a governor or trustee of a college or are a careers adviser working predominantly with one or more college then complete survey B.
• If you work for training provider / independent training provider please complete survey C. 
• If you work for anyone else (a Careers Hub, LEP, local / combined authority, employer, university, sector body or any other organisation working with the Gatsby Benchmarks) then please complete survey C.
• If you don’t quite fit into any of the categories above then please use survey C.

All three surveys will give you the opportunity to feedback.
