Students whose exam results aren’t quite what they expected are being offered expert advice and help from the Council to help them plan a new future.
Bath & North East Somerset Council is offering young people a personal advice service through its teams of Personal Advisers and Youth Workers.
They can provide information, advice and guidance on further education courses, apprenticeships, training and job opportunities to students whose summer examination results were not as good as they expected.
Cllr Dine Romero, the Council’s Cabinet Member for Early Years, Children, and Youth, said: “We have all heard stories of disappointed young people who think it’s the end of the world when they don’t get the grades they expected.
“But this need not be the case. Very often, it’s just a case of exploring the options and coming up with alternatives they may not have considered.
“Our personal advisers and youth workers are there to take the pressure off and provide some expert advice to help young people make plans for September.”
