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.

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
