The Inspection of the Careers and Related Services (Wales) Regulations 2006
Sections 55 — 57 of the Education Act 2005 make provision for the inspection of the careers and related services in Wales by the Chief Inspector for Education and Training in Wales (Estyn). These services are currently provided by a number of companies limited by guarantee, collectively operating as Careers Wales. The 2005 Act provisions replace provisions formerly contained in the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998. The inspection requirements are tightened and brought more into step with those applying to schools. Sections 55 — 57 provide a framework, leaving the details to be prescribed in regulations made by the National Assembly for Wales. These Regulations prescribe those details.
