Get involved

#NoWrongPath is back and the 2026 campaign is set to be bigger and better than ever!

The aim? To highlight the different options that are available to young people and show them that exam results are not necessarily the key to unlocking future success.

Results Day this year falls on Tuesday 4 August, however you are invited to get involved any time during the week of 3-7 August. Supporting the campaign is simple - there are a few different ways to do so below.
