Key Responsibilities
Schools have the prime ‘duty of care’ for their students at all times – including times when students are involved in work experience or other off-site work-related learning. Colleges, employers and other training providers have responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of everyone on their premises, including any students who are there or engaged in activities which they organise.
These responsibilities include:
• complying with child protection legislation;
• checking their insurers are aware of the implications of their involvement with work-related learning and, in particular, 14-16 year-old students;
• agreeing and implementing workable attendance, reporting, monitoring and emergency procedures in partnership with the school;
• supporting their staff in adjusting to teaching young people by organising training and establishing workable and effective policies, and
• complying with legislation and good practice on data protection.
