Recommendation 18

We recommend that Department for Education publishes an annual report on the number and proportion of schools that are complying with the Baker Clause and provider access legislation, and assesses the reasons for non-compliance. The proposed work to be carried out by the Careers and Enterprise Company to map compliance should be comprehensive, transparent, it must consider pupils’ experiences, and it should be published. The Department should report annually on the action that has been taken to intervene to ensure compliance with the Baker Clause and provider access legislation, and should consider whether the threshold for intervention should be lowered. (Recommendation, Paragraph 74)
