Enrichment Benchmarks Companion Toolkit

The Department for Education's Enrichment Framework creates an important opportunity to strengthen enrichment for children and young people.

The question now is not whether enrichment matters, but how we ensure more young people can benefit from it.

The Enrichment Benchmarks Companion Toolkit has been developed by organisations from across education, youth, sport, culture, community and employer sectors to help schools, colleges and their partners turn the Framework into meaningful action.

The Toolkit is a practical guide designed to support schools, colleges, trusts, governors, enrichment providers and community partners as they respond to the Enrichment Framework.
It includes practical guidance, reflection questions, case studies, examples and evidence-gathering approaches drawn from organisations already delivering high-quality enrichment across the country.
