This one day online conference will focus on next steps for careers guidance in England.

It follows the Department for Education’s latest updated statutory guidance, with expectations for all secondary schools, colleges and independent providers to have implemented the revised Gatsby Benchmarks from September 2025. Delegates will discuss implementation progress, issues and next steps, with the renewed emphasis on embedding careers education across the curriculum, strengthening senior oversight within education settings, and the requirement for institutions to be able to demonstrate the impact on learners' progression.

It also takes place following the Curriculum and Assessment Review’s final report and recommendations published in November 2025, with their focus on how pupils are supported to understand progression routes and make informed choices - alongside implementation of Ofsted’s new inspection framework, which places greater weight on leadership oversight and how well schools prepare pupils for next stages of education, training and employment.
