This purpose of this map is to enhance visibility and awareness of lifelong guidance services:

• from the point of view of guidance practitioners
• from the point of view of policymakers and other stakeholders
• from the point of view of service users

Practioners

• allows guidance practitioners to clearly identify colleagues and other services in their local area
• provides clarity on where to refer service users who may require alternative services more suited to their current need.
• provides a directory of contact details for other guidance practitioners

Policymakers

• may help to identify gaps and duplication of services
• may help to inform evidence based policy analysis
• promotes visibility and awareness of services outside of one’s specific sector

Service users

• can identify lifelong guidance services in their area and who they are available to
• can identify services that are publicly accessible and those that require a referral
• can identify which services provide modes-of-delivery suited to their needs
