How you can support your young person to be successful:

- Discuss with your young person their progress, what they enjoy and any concerns – ask them for the name and details of their course tutor
- Let us know if your young person is unhappy or has concerns
- Be aware of homework, coursework deadlines and exams and encourage your young person to meet the requirements
