| Find your own placement |
|
|
 Your school may provide you with a list of employers who offer a variety of work experience placements or they may ask you to organise your own placement. If you do find your own placements here are some important tips:
 |
Check that the employers has current Employers’ and Public Liability insurance – if this is not in place your work experience placement will not be able to go ahead. Some employers may not need to have Employers’ Liability Insurance, for example if they are self-employed. |
|
Make sure that the information you pass onto your teacher is correct especially: -
|
|
|
The name of the organisation. |
|
The address – make sure you supply the address of the premises where your work experience will take place, not the home address of the employer. |
|
Contact telephone numbers. It is very important that we are able to contact the employer if a health and safety assessment is required. If you have organised a placement with an employer who is not based from one location everyday, for example a Plumber who carries out work at people’s homes, then try to get a mobile telephone number. |
|
The type of work that you are going to experience. |
