For Parents & Support Workers: How to Help (Without Taking Over)

For Parents & Support Workers: How to Help (Without Taking Over)

Goal: Keep the learner calm, confident and consistent.

  • Let the learner speak for themselves when booking or discussing goals.
  • Use one coach at a time: avoid conflicting instructions.
  • Practise the plan: ask the learner what today’s focus is (e.g. roundabouts / mirrors & merging) and keep feedback specific.
  • Normalize nerves: praise small wins; keep drives short and frequent.
  • Safety first: no extra passengers during lessons; follow our Policies for changes/cancellations.
