Recommendation 38

Pupils in care and young carers are likely to face additional barriers to accessing CEIAG and moving into employment, but there appears to be limited understanding of how these groups access and navigate the CEIAG system, and little targeted support in place for this group. It is positive that the Department has expanded its pilot of extending Pupil Premium Plus funding to young people in further education, but we would like to see more of an explicit focus on careers advice and guidance in the funding criteria.
