“In London more than anywhere, young people need impartial and comprehensive information on their options, given the complexity of the education and work landscape.  Choice provides that in a way we’ve never had before.  It is a key tool in helping young people participate and progress successfully to adulthood, keeping them motivated, informed and supported.

It is central to the work of Connexions”

Chris Heaume, Chief Executive, Central London Connexions

Connexions staff are informing young people both in and outside education on a daily basis about Choice – its benefits and how to use it.
