NGRF - UK National Guidance Research Forum

The UK public service is focusing more and more on ‘evidence based’ practice to ensure value for money and value added to service provision.  Guidance related organisations are also increasingly expected to provide evidence on their practices and processes and on the impact of their work.

Aims and objectives

This event will provide an overview of the published evidence on the benefits of career guidance within the UK and further a field.  Delegates will be invited to reflect on existing policies and practices within their own organisation in order to help assess the range and quality of existing data. Exploration of other sources of evidence whose full potential has not yet been fully realised will be examined.  The seminar will draw upon recent findings published by the Canadian Career Development Foundation that demonstrates the potential value of hidden sources of evidence on the benefits of career guidance, including that held by practitioners.  Plans for a new CeGS national project, conducted in association with the Canadian Research Working Group for Evidence-based Practice in Career Development, will be outlined. Organisations will be invited to actively participate, where appropriate.

Target audience

This seminar will be appropriate for senior managers, managers, practitioners, researchers and stakeholder/social partners who have an interest in design, delivery and measurement of the outcomes of career resources and services.
