Simple terms explainer: 

Councils and schools must share key information with Skills Development Scotland, the national careers service. This helps SDS support young people as they prepare to leave school and move on to college, university, training, or work. The information might include things like pupils’ learning needs, career interests, or support plans. By sharing this early, SDS can offer tailored advice and help make sure every young person has a clear path and the right support for life after school.
