Videos for parents and carers

As a Widening Access team, we support students to channel their aspirations and make informed choices about their options for the future. We also understand the role that parents/carers play and therefore the importance of empowering them to help guide their young people through their education journey.

We appreciate that navigating a vast landscape of information can sometimes be challenging, particularly when searching for reliable and neutral advice about Higher Education (HE). Making the decision on which route is right for your child, how it will impact them in the future and what support is available is not always straightforward. That's why we've pulled together some useful videos to help you find out more about key topics when considering studying a course at HE.
