Date protection and GDPR with regard to careers education: students and/or their parents/carers should be aware that basic on-roll school data may be provided to some external agencies i.e. the careers guidance specialist and work experience providers, to provide additional support for students. In addition, Post 16 and Post 18 intended destinations data is requested by the local authority towards the end of year 11 and year 13 as part of the school’s statutory duty. We will also ask the local authority to share data with the school with regard to a student's destination, to help meet the requirement to track students for three years.  As part of the personal careers guidance interview process, students are asked for their consent to opt in to the sharing of their data with key members of staff and parents/carers. Every Year 11 and Sixth Form student will be provided with an opportunity to meet with our contracted careers adviser in school, for additional impartial and unbiased advice regarding career exploration and planning.

The DfE have also just launched a website providing information about the new
T-Levels, which you may find useful.
