Young people, aspiration, and practitioner bias

In this episode, Sarah and Lesley speak with Mr Neil Evans about his paper ‘Raising Aspirations and Impartiality: A Paradoxical Position for Career Guidance Practitioners?’ (read Neil’s paper here). Neil was previously a career guidance practitioner and in this conversation he draws on that experience to speak with us about professional responsibility and multi-agency working, professional values and external pressures, practitioner bias and reflection, and some take home messages for practice.Transcripts are available on the Portal Podcast Website: https://wp.sunderland.ac.uk/portal-podcast/ The music is called “Together We’re Stronger” by All Music Seven (All7 Studios) (you can listen to their music here). Production and editing by PaperGhosts. The Portal Podcast is funded by the University of Sunderland.  Hosted on Acast.
