If your teenager is getting their exam results today, here are some ways you can support them:
1/ Validate how they’re feeling, whatever that may be. Listen to their concerns, offer plenty of reassurance, and remind them that while things might feel difficult right now, you’ll work together to figure out a plan
2/ Let them know that even if they didn’t get the results they were hoping for, it doesn’t mean they can’t achieve their goals. There are many routes to success - they might just need to take a different path than they expected
3/ Talk through the options available - whether that’s resitting exams, deferring, taking a year out to gain experience or work, or exploring different courses, universities, or training schemes
For extra advice and support, your teenager can call 0800 100 900 to speak to a careers adviser at the National Careers Service.

🧠 Mental health and wellbeing has a huge bearing on a young person's readiness to learn and attendance.
❤️ Youth work's person-centred approach provides wrap around support outside the classroom that can allow a young person to flourish.
#EducationNeedsYouthWork
We're supporting the @YouthLinkScot #EducationNeedsYouthWork campaign, which highlights the importance of youth work.
A great example is the Positive Minds project in @DundeeCouncil – a peer led training programme with a focus on mental health: ow.ly/tl4z50QF4NV
We’re thrilled the UNCRC Bill has been given Royal Assent ✅
Children & young people have led the campaign for UNCRC incorporation in Scotland & we can now look ahead to children’s rights being enshrined in law, policy and practice. Next step, implementation!
