Careers guidance in the UK is embedded in public policy and national politics. This book provides an analysis of career-related policy in the UK following the devolvement of responsibility for careers services to each of the four nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Michelle Stewart has harnessed the critiques of NICEC fellows and other contributors to analyse and interpret developments in career-related policy and its impact on the provision of careers education, information, advice and guidance since 1999.
