Parents and Carers

When it comes to making career decisions, you’re one of the first people your child will turn to for help.

 Skills Development Scotland Scotland’s careers service and our Careers Advisers are available to support you and your child throughout their time at school.

You can get in touch with the Careers Advisers through the school or by emailing

Alison.flint@sds.co.uk for Bell, Douglas and Dawson

Elizabeth.urquhart@sds.co.uk for Howe, Westport and Baxter

Scotland’s careers website My World of Work is also packed with information to help you explore the routes your child could take for their career.

Pupils will use My World of Work with their SDS Careers Adviser at school as they build their Career Management Skills
