Just a taught. Is a trainee insured for accidents or injury at a trial session if they are not on the books? Thank you muffin78, Huggers and JoeLeg for contributing to this topic.

Hi KidKruger, I agree that done in this way the service may suffer. However, If there is a concern of the quality of the service dropping. I would recommend very short shifts to ease them into the environment, a feedback of their performance for them to go away and think about and a repeat until the management is happy to offer them a full shift. This could be done at time when service is not so demanding. Thank you for your comments.

Hi JohnL, Yes I agree it should always be a two way process. I think a role in a medical physics lab might be just that bit more interesting and inspiring for curious young minds than waiting on people. However. These young people already do a two-week work experience before they leave school. My daughter realy enjoyed working at architecture firm, she was very lucky to get a spot there. Thanks to a very nice and kind man taking her on at a last minute notice. And thank you for your comments.

Pugwash. Sorry to hear the news, still, I wish them well and hope there is a brighter future for them somewere.

Thank you maxxi for your comments. I believe under 18's can work within a supervised environment. I hope it is just for a few hours, and if it's serving paying customers, not sure if it's so fair it being unpaid. If the business truly wants to invest in a new staff member, a few hours on the books as trainee shouldn?t be unthinkable.

Thank you IlonaM I did take a look. I think its helped, just taking it off my chest and talking to you all.

Hi everyone, I hadn?t realised the admin team have moved my post to the Lounge. Thank you all for your comments. Thank you tomskip, beansprout for supporting some action on our part. Three little birds in Brixon, the second I won't name yet, see if they call her in a month or two. Womenofdulwich. I will have to ask her, thank you. Jules-and-Boo. They may be hope yet! Thankyou. Pugwash. This is just so sad, I think out of order, well... he probably had travel expenses, lunch and of all many hours, all wasted. I hope he is doing well now. Intexasatthe moment. I have been helping out at a school nursery for a few years now. I agree with you on this. As with everything local government, cutbacks in education never helps. Indiepanda. I looked at some info on this seems a bit grey but an official site says the are not obliged to pay. Seams they have no responsibility to pay, and they say it's at their disaggregation. I agree with you, in the past was a more direct approach to employers was good and worked well. I have advised my daughter to ask more questions before starting a trial. She said ?I don't want to come across rude and demanding? and I replied ?use a squeaky curious tone? she wasn?t impressed. Good day to you all.

Goodday to you all, I have a beautiful bright and well mannered seventeen your old student that is looking of some part-time work. she has had two interviews and trial days at two restaurants. First in Brixton that said they didn't hire her, no reason and unpaid. Second one on Bellenden road. Who said YES after the trial shift and then messaged her the following morning to say they can't hire her because she is under 18, maybe in the future with someone supervising at all times. funny first thing they asked her was how old she is?. Are some of these "Job App" being used by business to cover shifts at last minute notice. leaving applicants with no real job opportunity and without pay. Very sad to see my young person struggling and being set back in this way, as she is so eager to do well for herself when and she has taken all the steps herself to find work. Wondering if anyone could shed more light on this or experiences of their own. Hope you all enjoy a restfull Sunday. Kind Regards Shamos
