Dear Parent/Guardian,

We wish to inform you that your child will be allocated a Careers Guidance meeting with a member of our Careers Team over the next few weeks. This meeting will provide an opportunity for your child to discuss their future plans and options following Year 11, including further education, training, or employment pathways.

In addition to these scheduled meetings, we also offer a drop-in support service. This allows students to request further meetings, should they need additional advice or support in planning their next steps.

As part of the preparations for moving forward, we kindly ask that all students sign the attached Consent to Share Information and Data Protection Agreement in the meeting. This agreement allows the school to share relevant information with their chosen education or training establishment, as well as Hartlepool Borough Council. Please be assured that any information shared will be on a need-to-know basis only. In line with legal requirements, destination and contact details will be securely recorded for three years after the end of compulsory education and shared between the school and the local authority.

Should you have any questions or require more information about these activities, please do not hesitate to contact our Careers Team.

Thank you for your support

Kind Regards,
Mrs K Mincher                                         Mrs T Russell 
Careers Officer                                        Careers Lead
