If you didn’t achieve the outcome you were expecting from your results, don’t worry—there are still many paths you can explore. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone in this process, and you don’t need to navigate it by yourself. Support and guidance are readily available in Liverpool for young people, as well as their families and carers, to help with the transition into further training or employment.

Once you have your results in hand, it’s helpful to take a few key steps. Start by talking to your school, college, or a careers adviser who can provide tailored advice. If you believe a grade might be incorrect, your school will be able to explain the procedure and let you know if a remark of exam papers is possible. Additionally, you have the option to retake English and Maths if needed. If your intended next step required certain grades, contact your chosen institution to see if you may still secure your place. Should your original plan no longer be viable, ask about alternative courses, apprenticeships, or other training options that might be available.

Beyond schools and colleges, there are several organizations in Liverpool offering friendly and experienced support. Career Connect provides services for young people aged 16 to 18, or up to 25 if they have an Education Health and Care Plan, with locations in Norris Green and Toxteth.

For those aged 18 and above facing difficulties entering or maintaining employment, Connect to Work offers assistance. Adults aged 19 and over can also benefit from the Liverpool Adult Learning Service, which provides a variety of courses aimed at improving skills or earning recognised qualifications, with many classes available free depending on income.
