CEIAG

At Malet Lambert School, we aim to help all pupils fulfil their potential and experience success through an educational environment, which responds to individual needs and stimulates and challenges each and every pupil.

Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is a high priority within our school, and is seen as crucial in preparing pupils to make decisions regarding the opportunities and challenges of adult and working life.

Information

Information is data on opportunities conveyed through different media, both mediated and unmediated including face-to-face contact - individual, in groups or classes - written or printed materials, ICT software and websites.

Advice

This involves:

• helping pupils to understand and interpret information
• providing information and answers to questions
• clarifying misunderstandings
• understanding their circumstances, abilities and targets
• advising them on their options or how to go about a given course of action
• identifying needs and signposting or referring young people who may need more in-depth guidance and support.

Advisory work is usually provided on a one-to-one basis but may also be provided in small or class groups.

Guidance

Guidance aims to:

• support young people to better understand themselves and their needs
• confront barriers to understanding, learning and progression
• resolve issues and conflicts and to support them to develop new perspectives and solutions to problems and be able to better manage their lives and achieve their potential.
