Placement information
We provide a programme of activity for a one-week period, which includes:
- inductions
- work shadowing
- meeting senior leaders
- understanding the goals, objectives and priorities of the council
- delivering a presentation on key learning
We honour our duty to provide effective and high-quality work experience. We will:
- provide a consistent, reliable approach to offer young people and care leavers placements
- ensure compliance with any legal duties towards safeguarding and risk assessment
- create an environment in which both individual and team, including those on work experience, contributions are recognised. We will avoid any stereotypical assumptions or bias, conscious or otherwise.
- ensure all young people and care leavers applying for work experience placements are not subject to discrimination. They will not receive any less favourable treatment.
Feedback
Many education providers seek feedback on behalf of the young person. Service areas are encouraged to help with this. This information can help to enhance a student's learning experience and development.
