Government official tells head teachers and principals that young need more guidance to help them to achieve their dreams 

Anglia Ruskin University has staged a lecture by Mohammad Haroon who leads on developing Young Peoples' Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) Policy in England, including policy on the Connexions Service.  He is the Deputy Director of the Supporting Children & Young People Group from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

The lecture at Rivermead campus was entitled Information, Advice and Guidance: Enabling Success. It was attended by head teachers and principals from Essex who came to find out more about the Information, Advice and Guidance programme and why it is helping to enable young people to succeed.

The lecture made a compelling case for IAG and how effective IAG can be the key link between the aspirations of young people and attainment.  It provided a clear vision of how young person focussed IAG can raise aspirations and broaden horizons to the benefit of each individual, the school or college and the economy.
