Educating your children is one of the most worrisome aspects of parenting and engulfs a large part of your child’s childhood. It is important we get it right because education and qualifications will impact the rest of your child’s life. 

As parents we are not given a manual when our child is born to help us navigate the education labyrinth that lays before us. How are we expected to know things, understand things, be aware of the process, know our rights and what is available to our child. Not many parents do. 

This Help Guide 2 child education matters has been written to give you a basic yet broad understanding of the UK education system so you are informed as you travel through it and you don’t get lost in the maze that it is. To do this we have written Help Guide 2 with the following in mind:

1. There must be simple definitions and explanations throughout the write up.
2. Help Guide 2 must be short and to the point.
3. It must contain only relevant information 
4. It must focus on prevention
5. And also focus on what you can do as a parent to help your child

Help Guide 2 contains 17 mini help guides as detailed below. Click on the boxes to access them.
