Abstract

Guidance Officers have traditionally been seen as having different aims, goals and outcomes to those of schools. In fact, guidance officers have been seen as having a vested interest in maintaining this separation. We propose that for guidance officers to become more potent in effecting change, and in order to derive maximum benefit for their clients they need to become much more closely asociated with the goals and programs of mainstream education.
