Advice
Organisations providing an immediate response to the needs of clients who present an enquiry or reveal a need that requires more than a straightforward information response.

Guidance
Organisations providing an in-depth interview or other activity conducted by a trained adviser which helps clients to explore a range of options, to relate information to their own needs and circumstances, and to make decisions about their work. It may or may not include psychometric assessment. The organisations listed on this website as offering guidance are accredited with the GAB kitemark for the provision of this service.
