Quality Frameworks for developing CEIAG
Overview
As the choices and progression pathways across 14-19 learning and beyond
get increasingly complex the need for high quality CEIAG provision is
ever more important. A number of national and regional frameworks can
help learning organisations review provision and plan for development.
National Quality Standards for Young People’s Information, Advice
and Guidance (IAG)
The national quality standards have been written to support the development
of consistently high quality and impartial information, advice and guidance
services across the country.
They do this by providing a framework for planning, managing and reviewing
information, advice and guidance services and are for use by:
- learning providers (including schools, colleges and work based training
providers),
- external information,
advice and guidance providers (i.e. Connexions services, voluntary
and community service organisations and all other private organisations
working under contract to the local authority).
It is expected that OfSTED will be looking at IAG provision during inspection. Follow

Supporting Choices
This national document is designed to assist individual institutions
plan and develop activities, programmes and processes that support the
choices made by young people. It provides amplification on the
14-19 entitlement to Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) and a delivery
model that describes the range of inputs, activities and experiences
that young people should be entitled to access from ages 11-19+. Follow
this link to view the supporting choices document in full.
Code of Practice
The Code of Practice is a set of principles and practice for CEIAG for
all learning organisations. It has been developed in partnership for
Leicestershire and Leicester city. It is the first step in demonstrating
commitment to improving provision for young people. Follow these links
to view the Code
of Practice and the self-evaluation
pack.
Career Mark 5 – Quality Standards
Career Mark 5 is a development framework for CEIAG. An award process
is available or the standards can be used to steer development. Visit
this link to view the Career Mark 5.
Involving young people
Developing provision should always include the views of the end users – the
young people. Quality frameworks advocate their involvement in planning
and evaluation in CEIAG.
