Student Information, Advice & Guidance

What is the Information Advice and Guidance strategy?

'In October 2009 the Government launched a new strategy to make careers education and Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) more relevant to the 21st century.

The Information Advice and Guidance strategy aims to make careers education more accessible for young people and ensure each one of them, whatever their background, can make the right education and training choices so they have the best possible chance of succeeding.'
