Report of a study, authored by Kathryn Crowther (York Consulting LLP), commissioned by BIS, to determine the type of information that would most effectively support learners, employers and advice and guidance intermediaries in making choices about post-16 provision. This included all government funded post-16 education and training, but not higher education provision.

Hazel’s comment:
There is information available, lots of information, what most young people lack is the ability to use the information and make judgments which allow for appropriate choices. As for "advice and guidance intermediaries" are there many of these people left nowadays?
