Principles
It is essential that IAG provision and practice are led by and responsive to young people’s needs. To achieve this, delivery should comply with the following principles, which underpin all professional codes of conduct and practice for IAG practitioners.
IAG should be:
- impartial – independent of any vested interests
- confidential – within legal requirements
- focused on young people’s needs
- owned by young people
- supportive of equality of opportunity
- understood by all young people
- accessible to all young people.
