As a parent or carer, you are likely to be the single biggest influence on your child's thoughts and feelings about their future career. It is really important that you are aware of the influence you have and that you try your best to make this positive, supportive and empowering.

 Parents and carers are able to help their child the most when they:

• Have a good general understanding of the options available.
• Listen carefully to their child’s views without being judgemental or critical.
• Are open to new ideas and possibilities.
• Encourage them to explore all their options.

The information in this section is designed to help you to help your child.
