Key Reviews
'I’d encourage anyone who is aspirational for the lives of young people to draw from the wisdom and best practice in [these] pages.'
Oli de Botton, CEO of the Careers and Enterprise Company
I strongly recommended this book as core reading for anyone entering the sector in England as a careers leader, careers adviser or allied role. After presenting the policy and context in England, the book moves into a review of practice, the principles of which can be interpreted for other locations. This text will be particularly useful for parents, teachers and advisers working with those moving to England from other nations, who will be in dire need of a practical guide to what will feel like an impenetrable landscape of new terms, phrases and acronyms.
