The best way you can help your young person on Results Day and during Clearing is to be there for them.
Help them stay relaxed by making sure they have fun plans with their loved ones the night before Results Day. It's also a good idea to make sure they get a good night’s sleep, if possible.
Our Getting ready for Clearing and Results Day blog post is a handy guide to the best ways to provide support and encouragement. You and your young person can follow this checklist to collect everything they'll need when they apply through Clearing.
