It's time to change exams
If your young person did exams this summer, it's probably been a lot. If they're struggling at the moment, we've got lots of advice to help you support them.
We know that exams are testing young people's limits, and that it's time we revise the system. We're calling on the Government to change exams so they work for young people.
