We recognise that being a parent or carer can be hard work at times and if your young person is experiencing difficult or challenging circumstances aside from their studies, it can be even harder.

Keeping informed with some of the issues young people experience can be difficult as this is an ever-changing picture, but we have included some useful links, articles and advice to get you started here.
