Support and advice for pupils

SQA exam results will be issued to Scotland’s learners on Tuesday 7 August, by text message and through the post.

It can be a stressful time for young people – but support will be available, online, through our Helpline, via social media and face to face for learners needing to discuss their options.

Skills Development Scotland (SDS) offer free, impartial advice and information for those receiving their exam results to help them decide what to do next.

A leaflet detailing the help available from SDS is included with the SQA results letter. In this document, you will find some useful resources which can be adapted to your needs to help you direct learners in need of support when they receive their results – whether it hasn’t gone according to plan or better than expected.

Learners, parents and carers can call the Exam Results Helpline to speak with one of SDS’s trained advisers about their options. From apprenticeships to UCAS Clearing, college to employment, they have information on what you can do next. The Helpline is open on 7-15 August and you can get details

You can message advisers via DM on Twitter at@mywowscotland or private message via facebook.com/myworldofwork or your local SDS Facebook page.

SDS careers centres are located nationwide, and careers advisers are available year-round – not just on results day – to offer advice on your career options. Find your nearest centre

The most important thing to remember is – don’t panic! Whatever your results, there is a way to follow your ambitions, and SDS advisers are ready to help you think about options.
