Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the careers strategy, what additional funding he plans to allocate to the Careers and Enterprise Company to facilitate that company's expansion into SEND and primary schools.

We are investing over £70 million each year until 2020 to help young people and adults to benefit from high quality careers provision. This includes funding for The Careers & Enterprise Company and the National Careers Service.

The careers strategy includes funding for a number of programmes. This includes £2 million for careers activities in primary schools and further investment in initiatives focused on supporting those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Further information is available in The Careers & Enterprise Company Implementation Plan, published in response to the Government’s careers strategy: https://www.careersandenterprise.co.uk/sites/default/files/uploaded/careers-enterprise-implementation-plan.pdf.
