PARENTS AND CARERS
​
All students at Abbey Manor College will have access to a Careers Lead, an independent Careers Advisor, Work Experience and a range of resources and opportunities that will give them the tools they need to make the right decision for their future.
​
As a parent or Carer, we recognise that there is a broad range of information and advice on careers and post 16 opportunities, therefore we have put some of the most important ones on our careers site which should be useful.

What do I need to know to support my child
Education and training
Young people in England must continue in some form of education or training until they are 18 years old. Whether they choose to remain in education or pursue an apprenticeship or employment, you will play a key role in helping them make the best choice for their future.
Choosing wisely
There are lots of different ways for your child to train or continue their education. It's important they decide on a direction that's right for them. For many young people, making their post-16 choices is the first time they make important decisions which affect their future.
​
To help students we’ve put together some information and advice so that they can make informed choices and get ready to make their applications.
How you can help
Many young people feel confused and get stuck because they're not sure what to do. It's often a big challenge and your child might need your support to help them choose well. Here you can find advice on how parents and guardians can help.
Be aware of what needs to happen. Remember your child’s school is responsible for providing them with impartial careers information and guidance.
Where else can I go for advice and guidance?
