The Education (Extension of Careers Education) (England) Regulations 2003
These Regulations made under section 46 of the Education Act 1997 and which apply only to England extend the relevant phase of a pupil’s education during which he must be provided with a programme of careers education under section 43 of the Act. The Regulations extend the requirements of section 43 which previously applied only to pupils in school years 9-11 (14 to 16 year olds) to pupils in school years 7 and 8 (12 and 13 year olds).
