parents & carers

Parents and Carers of Young People aged 16+

If your son or daughter is aged 16 or over they can still get help from Connexions until they are 19 (or 25 if they have special needs). They may have stayed on at school, started college or a job or apprenticeship. There are still more decisions for them to make.

This website also contains lots of useful information to help you to continue to support your child whether they are considering higher education, a gap year, or work or an Apprenticeship.  

Look at :

• Choices. Are you 16/17? or Are you 17/18? are aimed at your child.
• Education   for information on Higher Education and Which A Level, Which Course of Higher Education.
• The Work and Careers pages for  more on Apprenticeships, Help to Find Work and much more.
