Yes, completely. Tell us where to send one and it arrives by email, with no cost and no catch.
Who are they for?
Parents and carers of young people, from around Year 9 to the end of sixth form. Teachers are very welcome to use them too.
Will you email me a lot?
Only if you tick the box to hear more. Otherwise you will get the guide you asked for, and nothing else. You can unsubscribe at any time.
