Careers Programme Evaluation

At The Bridge Academy, we frequently review our Careers programme and our compliance with the Gatsby Benchmarks. We use the Compass Tool, from the Careers & Enterprise Company. This gives us real-time analysis of our programme, and key outcomes in which to focus our attention. The most recent review is below:

The agreement is compliant with Crime & Disorder Act 1998 (s.115) and Data Protection Act 1998(s.29.3; s.35.2.), and focuses on preventing young people from becoming involved or further involved in crime and anti-social behaviour as a victim or offender.
