Amendment 80 is in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Stedman-Scott, and supported by the noble Earl, Lord Effingham. I have heard the noble Baroness speak many times on this subject, which is absolutely central to this Government’s drive to improve outcomes for young people, wherever they started their journey in life, and to ensure that the support runs right through to the other side of schools. I think we can all put our hands on our heart and say that the statistics that we have heard today, which many of us know from before, are simply shocking. All of us need to have a real commitment to looking at how we can work to improve career and employment opportunities as part of the educational achievement goals for children and young people.
