Access to schools for education and training providers

Through the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022, we are strengthening the statutory requirement for schools to provide opportunities for providers of technical education and apprenticeships to talk to pupils in years 8 to 13 to discuss their education and training options.

We’re seeking views on proposed revisions to the statutory careers guidance that underpins this legal duty. The guidance explains:

• the changes to the law
• what schools must do to comply
• the support available to help schools to deliver high quality provider encounters for young people
