Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information her Department holds on who authorised EDF Energy to give presentations in schools on working in the nuclear energy sector in Somerset.

The Government wants to see more schools and employers working together to help young people understand the world of work. This expectation has been set out in statutory guidance underpinning schools’ duty to secure independent careers guidance. Beyond the requirements set out in this document, it is at the discretion of each school as to how to configure their careers programme and which employers they choose to engage.
