Quote from Ryan Gibson, National Systems Leader at Lift Schools: "Careers is increasingly being elevated to a whole-institution priority, with leaders rising to the challenge, using the updated benchmarks to drive improvement that equip young people to fulfil their ambitions, regardless of their starting points."

A year ago we launched the updated #GatsbyBenchmarks. Today we celebrate their impact so far: more schools/colleges reporting on progress + more benchmarks being achieved = new evidence showing good careers guidance is helping prevent ~6,000 young people becoming NEET each year 🎉
