Work placements can take place on a fixed or flexible basis to best suit the pupil and the employer.

The employer won't:

  • have to pay the young person during the placement
  • have to guarantee a job at the end of the placement
  • pay anything towards the placement - the council and school will undertake all the related administration

The employer will:

  • have to support any pupil required to gather evidence in the workplace as part of a qualification
  • plan for the pupil coming into placement
  • take time with them for any related learning and reflection
  • have the necessary health and safety procedures, such as risk assessments in place
  • have the appropriate employer liability insurance in place
