At School

Every school should provide access to Connexions Advisers. From about year 9 you will be introduced to them, perhaps during a special class or assembly. There should be a Connexions Office in your school, which you can drop into during regular sessions, or visit to arrange a meeting with a Connexions Personal Adviser.

If you can't find a Connexions Office, ask for your connexions or careers teacher.  

In your local town

Connexions Centres are offices in town centres. These have regular opening hours and you can drop in, or make an appointment if you need more support.

Find your Connexions Centre.

There are Youth Centres in many towns around oxfordshire, and many of them organise projects in smaller towns and villages. You can access information and support there, and also talk to the Youth Workers about any problems you have.

Find your local Youth Centre.

Advice about particular issues

Worried about something in particular, like drugs, bereavement, problems with your parents or housing?

A Connexions Personal Adviser can put you in touch with the specialist support you need; and they'll check up on you, to make sure it suits you, and you're getting what you need.
