Shaping the Future – a new adult advancement and careers service for England

“This is a golden opportunity to change the way public services work.”
John Denham

“Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.”
French proverb which reflected the way I felt on reading this 20-page document which was published by the DIUS yesterday. Not the best introduction to the day but I couldn't face it at 10 o'clock last night.

The document sets out the department's plans for the new adult advancement and careers service, outlines its key features and shows how the service will be designed and implemented by and through innovators across the sector.
The new service will be starting in August 2010.

Read it for yourself but please, for the sake of the planet and your ink/toner supply, if you intend to print it (and I think all guidance practitioners should so that it's available for everyone to read) then convert from PDF to a word processing program and strip the pictures out.
