I am very grateful, Deputy Presiding Officer. I refer the minister to his comments about careers advice. In his statement, he talked of a “refocused SDS” having a “vital role” in careers advice. In response to one of the questions, he said that SDS will “play a part”. However, in another part of the statement that dealt with the career services collaborative, he talked about announcing shortly new arrangements for that.

The CSC exists in part as a mechanism for the Scottish Government and other policy makers to consult and engage with careers services. Going forward, who will have responsibility for giving expert, tailored careers advice to our young people at school?
