Paul has been busy with Quality in Careers work throughout the first half of this year, including chairing four relicensing panels for Awarding Bodies (CSW Group, Prospects, C & K Careers and Positive Steps – Inspiring IAG). Since April the DfE has awarded the Quality in Careers Consortium to support the Consortium’s work – which is excellent news.
