Careers in the Curriculum - Audit tools 

Here are 2 x different audit tools that could be used to accurately identify strengths and gaps within a school's approach to embedding careers within the curriculum.

Benchmarks: Benchmark 4. Stakeholders: Careers Leads, Governors and Senior Leaders. Resource Type: Toolkit or resource pack.

Careers Hub Cornwall & Isles of Scilly has developed a Careers in the Curriculum audit tool designed to be used by faculty and subject leads. With FE and School versions this provides a simple format for reflecting on the careers provision that is embedded at subject/course level.

The Careers & Enterprise Company has created a whole school audit tool which uses the universal careers learning outcomes and linked learning objectives to support department leads to accurately map their provision across all year groups.

Both tools would be a good starting point for undertaking a whole-institution audit and identifying improvement actions.
