Embodying integrity in careers education and guidance practice: Looking through the DOTS window

Abstract

This article explores what professional integrity looks like in careers education, information and guidance. It draws illumination from the work of Bill Law, especially the DOTS model which he developed with Tony Watts. It encourages the reader to reflect    on    their    own    professional    mindset    and    behaviour    as    career    practitioners, offering    questions    inspired    by    the    DOTS    framework    and    suggests    ways    in    which applying approaches which we might more usually apply to our clients might help us to develop our professional integrity
