My Masters in Leadership in Learning work looked at the efficacy of careers provision in areas of social deprivation. This is a systematic literature review of over 290 schools in the East Midlands and Yorkshire & The Humber regions of England. Shortcomings are caused by a national focus on supporting individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds; resulting in current advice falling-short for those in areas of social deprivation. Conclusions of shared best practice and recommendations for CEIAG provision are made within.
