As a parent or carer, you might be wondering what you can do to help on results day. Whether your child is feeling happy or disappointed, here's some advice to help you support them.

Disappointing results

If your child has not done as well as they'd hoped, there are still lots of options available.

They might not show it but they probably still care about their results and your attitude towards them and their grades.

It might help to:

give yourself some time to reflect

encourage your child to talk

reassure your child there are always other options available

focus on their next steps

Education and training options

There are lots of education and training options available.

You do not need to rush into anything. Encourage your child to take time making their decision.

Make sure you understand the post 16 options or post 18 options so your child can make an informed next step.

Planning a career

If your child has some ideas about what they would like to do, encourage them to do some research.

They'll need to consider the pros and cons based on their research and then put their plan into action.

To help your child plan their career, it's important you:

listen and try not to judge

stay open to their ideas

encourage them to explore all their options

help them make choices based on their goals and abilities, not what you think they should do

You can explore careers to find out how to get into a certain career.

Ideas for careers

If your child has no idea what kind of career they might like to do in the future, it can make it difficult to know what to do next.

Talk to your child about jobs that interest them. You can be a positive influence on their choices.

You can encourage them to:

Clearing

If your child did not get the grades they needed for their university offer, they can use clearing through UCAS to find other universities that have places available.

They can also use clearing if their grades were better than expected to apply for universities with higher entry requirements.

Remember there are also plenty of post 18 options other than university.

Useful information

You might need some resources to support your child with their next step.

Here are some guides and factsheets that may help you:
