Children’s Commissioner Bruce Adamson has congratulated young people on their achievements during the pandemic. 

Exams results will be published next week and, in a video message, he’s said ‘well done’ to those who are pleased with their results. But he’s also reminded young people who might be feeling disappointed, that setbacks happen to us all.  

Commissioner Bruce says: “I want to say a big congratulations to all of you. It’s been a difficult few years and you’ve worked really, really hard. It’s important that we recognise all of your achievements. 

“If you’ve got the results you hope for, that is brilliant. For those who don’t get the results you hoped for, don’t panic. There really is no wrong path, and we’ve all had setbacks in our academic careers. 

“Take the opportunity to think about what you want to do next to develop that amazing potential that you have.”
