Senior Careers Officer Shirley Moore said, “Achieving the re-accreditation demonstrates the outstanding quality of CEIAG being delivered by the Careers team at SERC. We were delighted with the feedback received in the Matrix Assessor’s report, particularly around the enthusiasm and knowledge of the Careers team in the provision of impartial guidance, the excellent partnerships developed to support equity and diversity, and the excellent feedback from students and internal and external partners; the report stated, “SERC’s CEIAG Service is exemplary in the promotion, delivery and review of its identified services.”
