Access to guidance

Term

Access to guidance

Definition

Conditions, circumstances or requirements (e.g. qualification, education level, special needs, gender, age etc.) governing admission to and participation in guidance activities, and/or the right to use guidance services or programmes.

Comment

Adaptation of the definition used in education and training to a guidance context. This is a restricted definition of access, which is more generally defined in a service context as:
‘the right to use a particular service’.

A key concern is that lifelong guidance policies encourage social inclusion and ‘that all citizens have a right to access guidance services at any point in their lives’ (Lifelong Guidance Policy Development: a European Resource Kit 2012).
