Parents/Carers

We aim to support young people in considering their future aspirations and careers, whilst making informed decisions about further and higher education.

We understand that further and higher education are huge topics, and so as a parent/carer/guardian we want to help you so when the time comes for you to have these conversations with your child, you feel prepared. Your role is crucial in supporting your child and how they make decisions about their future.

However, if they decide that it is the right thing for them, Higher Education is an exciting journey!

We have created, and linked, some useful resources and website for you to look at which may answer some questions you have around topics such as student finance and the application process.

If you have any additional questions, please do contact us and one of our team will get back to you.

"UniConnect have been amazing to work with and we can't thank them enough for offering this additional support for young people. This has and will most certainly support them in their ideas and choices to access further education. The support, communication and dedication from the NCOP team has been second to none and we are so grateful of what they can offer/support young people with in terms of further education."

"the futurehy programme (and especially the team I have had the privilege of working with) has been a huge advantage to our school. I am very happy with their aims and ethos and they are consistent, organised and enthusiastic in their delivery."
