All work experience opportunities provided by employers are thoroughly vetted by The Employability Partnership to ensure they are safe, meaningful, and compliant with current legislation.

 

It's important to recognise that risks in an office or retail setting are generally much lower than those in potentially hazardous environments like garages or factories. Discussions with TEP, which include a visit to the prospective employer, will address these risks, considering the student's age, maturity level, and capabilities.

 

While you, the employers, are the occupational experts, we have identified common inquiries and included links to specific guidance, along with our own summary sheet that directs you to additional resources available on the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) website.
