Leeds charter to create careers education 'entitlement'
Members of the authority’s Executive Board yesterday met at Civic Hall, where they endorsed the implementation of a the Young Person’s Information, Advice and Guidance Charter for Leeds.
It follows feedback from people who said that it would be useful to have a summary of what they are entitled to rather than merely being “given” careers information which their “educational settings choose”, according to a report presented to councillors.

It also features sections on expectations about the values and behaviours that employers are looking for in their workforce.
The charter is due to be promoted through social media.
It has been shared with schools and colleges, which have been encouraged to sign up to it.
