Achieving for children are also offering a helpline for looking at alternative options outside of my availability. 

Completed your GCSEs and your grades were not what you expected? If you would like some support, we may be able to help.

Or, if you would like to discuss your post 16 options, we can provide impartial advice and guidance to help you to explore ideas and weigh up the pros and cons of the different options open to you - whether these are post 16 learning programmes, or apprenticeships.

Call the Achieving for Children Summer Support helpline to talk to a qualified careers adviser. Phone: 07540156905 or *07864612857
*Helpline is shared between these numbers, so you may be directed to the other number.

The helpline is open from:

- 10.30am to 5.30pm on Thursday 24 August
- 10am to 4pm on Friday 25 August
- 10am to 4pm on Tuesday 29 August

If you want to get in touch outside these hours you can email: 14-25@achievingforchildren.org.uk and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
