WE'RE HERE TO HELP

Restore face-to-face careers advice

CP Parliament

The government's failure to protect face-to-face careers advice services has left many vulnerable young people without the information they need to achieve their aspirations, or even to access basic services.  

The Centrepoint Parliament strongly believes this will increase youth unemployment.

We launched our campaign with Nine Rooms in June. Now we want to take action and, with your help, get government to restore face-to-face careers advice.

Why should you sign the petition?

Following the dismantling of Connexions, the duty to provide careers advice was moved onto schools, but this only covers young people up to 16 and is only accessible to those in mainstream education.

Face-to-face adult careers advice is only available for over-19s and is very limited, meaning for those with additional needs and no family support, it is often not enough to help them make informed choices

Failure to address this problem will not only be a personal tragedy for the 950,000 young people who are currently NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training), but will also have a serious impact on the wider economy, with the economic costs of youth unemployment estimated to reach £30bn over the next ten years. 

This is why the Centrepoint Parliament are calling on the government to ensure face-to-face careers advice is available to all under-25s who need it.
