Information for Parents and Carers

The South Midlands Careers Hub’s role is to support your child’s school or college with delivering high-quality, meaningful careers education. We do this by upskilling Careers Leaders in education settings, providing resources, and sharing ‘what works’ through promoting good practice.

Every school and college is required to share information for parents/carers about its Careers Programme on its website. To learn more about what is delivered in your child’s education setting, including an overview of the programme, what your child will be taking part in, and Careers Leader contact details, please visit their school or college’s website.

Our Careers Hub has produced the following resources for parents/carers that have been shared with your child’s school or college. You can access them below:
