Hello.

I am 14 year old boy looking for work experience for one week in February. I have so far found this difficult as many businesses don't seem to take school students until they are 15 for insurance reasons. I am in Year 10 but have a summer birthday so will not be 15 for some time. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.


Thanks L

If you don't know what you want to do, think about a shop/ cafe restaurant locally. If they like you, you might be able to work there when you are older - in holidays/ weekends etc .Maybe full time .Have you asked parents' friends? Good luck I know its a very young age for employers but family friends or your local shops that you go to might be more willing.

My daughter did her DofE service at Mind charity shop. She was in the same position as you, but the manager was happy to take her on if I wrote a disclaimer letter. Perhaps your parents could offer the same deal to a business/shop.

      To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!

      CHERN Thai Cafe - Opening Times

      By Sue · Posted

      I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.

      We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
