I have to declare an interest - I'm a careers adviser in a London borough facing redundancy along with a third of my colleagues in the frontline. There are already only 15 of us working desperately hard to provide an impartial and professional guidance service to THOUSANDS of local teens ranging from those with special needs to the gifted & talented.
The scale of proposed public sector cuts is so huge that our service is in danger of completely disappearing. We've already taken a battering during the Labour years - forced to become quasi social workers and infiltrated by connexions advisers without careers guidance qualifications.
My question is: do you care? Or do you think your DCs can get adequate careers advice from parents and teachers?
I'm genuinely interested in your views.

Does anyone care about the careers service cuts?
