I agree, having worked as a teacher myself, educators have very little time. Our website allows you to book flexibly during lunch or after school (F4S). I hope this makes it somewhat easier to plan your career inspiration activities.

The key is (not always easy) to have SMT fully integrate careers education provision within the school timetable and year plans. I'd be curious to know if any schools are doing this well...

Thank you for your thoughts on this.

This is an interesting insight and I do agree.
