Young people across Lanarkshire are being encouraged to call the Skills Development Scotland’s results helpline for dedicated results support from 8am on August 10.
The free helpline offers advice, information and guidance for young people, their parents and carers and the number to call is 0808 100 8000.
Around 145,000 pupils across the country will have their National, Highers and Advanced confirmed after receiving their provisional results earlier this summer.
Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said: “The free helpline offers young people an excellent source of advice and guidance and I’d appeal to learners who have questions about their next steps to use this valuable resource.
“Whether it’s practical advice about options, or reassurance following SQA results, the advisers are ready to help.”
Sharon McIntyre from SDS added: “We know receiving results has been a very different experience for young people and their families this year.
“It’s important to reassure them that whatever their confirmed results are, our advisers are there to provide support and expert advice on their options.”
This year’s helpline will be open from 8am to 8pm on August 10 and 11; 9am to 5pm on August 12 and 12 as well as 9am to 5pm from August 16 to 18.
“It’s equally important to let them know that whatever their results might be, our advice - as always - is don’t panic and we can help.”
The SDS Helpline advisers will also be available on social media, by direct message to My World of Work on Facebook or Instagram.
