Ideal for heads of departments

Every department now faces ever increasing administrative responsibilities and the need to produce detailed documentation to show how it functions and provide evidence of:

• developmental planning
• schemes of work
• recording and assessment
• policy planning.

Step-by-step guidance

In addition to explanatory material, there are information sheets for governors, staff, students and parents plus a wealth of blank forms, checklists and grids for completion, distribution and display. Care is taken to account for both the special issues that relate to Careers departments and the varying circumstances of different schools.
