Parents want the best for their children. Connexions encourage all parents to be actively involved in the important choices their children will have to make as they grow up.

If your child is in school year 9, 10 or 11 (aged 13-16)
these decisions will include:

• What will I do for work experience?
• What career would I like?
• Do I want to go to sixth form or college?
• Would I like an Apprenticeship?

Don't leave it too late!

Planning ahead is key to a successful decision.
