Careers Work with Young People: Collapse or Transition?
Government policy surrounding careers advice services for young people has been described as "disastrous" in an academic report.
The report by the University of Derby says current policy "is having a potentially disastrous impact on the careers profession".
Data collected from 144 local authorities revealed that only 15 will maintain what the researchers termed as a "substantial" universal careers service. They identified 12 councils as making extreme cuts to Connexions services and at least 49 as reducing or removing the universal careers element of the Connexions service. At least 105 councils have reduced staffing levels and 50 have closed Connexions centres.
