1 The Woodroffe School Work Experience Policy (Based on a model LA Policy) Ratified by the FGB Introduction In 2011 the Coalition Government announced the withdrawal of funding to support work experience and other work related activity. Following consultation with schools/academies and learning centres, the Local Authority was unable to provide a viable and sustainable coordinated service in the future. The Woodroffe School has decided to continue to offer work experience to all Year 10 & Year 12 students through Devon EBP. Our provider will vet employer premises to ensure that they are appropriate for our students. Any Out of County placements will be arranged according to the providers procedures (Appendix 1). National legislation and guidance will be followed to ensure the health, safety and safeguarding of students when on a work placement. Work experience is defined as: Students placed with an employer to carry out a range of tasks defined in a job description, with an emphasis on the learning aspects of the work experience. (Health and Safety Executive) 2. Purpose This policy provides a framework to ensure that students are able to access work experience placements that are carefully managed, monitored and provide a safe environment. This includes the organisation as well as health, safety and safeguarding requirements of all work experience programmes for all age groups of students. 3. Priorities When preparing for work experience the Woodroffe School will: o Ensure students are provided with a positive experience with an emphasis on learning o Retain a duty of care at all times o Ensure that the potential risks to each student has been assessed o Ensure that the placement chosen by the student is suitable for them and any additional safeguarding issues are taken into account and actioned o Provide a named contact (senior member of staff), who is available during the times when students are on placements. This will include the period between the school closure and the start/end of the business day, weekend working and any holiday period o Obtain the consent of parent/carers/carers and service provider.
2 4. Legislation The school has a range of legal responsibilities in relation to the organisation and delivery of work experience. Education Act 1996 o Provide work experience in industrial and non-industrial settings but not on ships, for students who are in their final two years of compulsory schooling o Enables students in Year 10 and 11 to assume the temporary status of a Young Person in employment law Education Act 2002 o Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people within the school Apprenticeship, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 o Encourage post 16 students to undertake work experience. Other legislation that is adhered to includes: Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 including amendments Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999 Working Time Regulations 1998 Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and Sex Discrimination (Gender Reassignment) Regulations 1999 Race Relations Act 1976 and Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 Disability Discrimination Act 2005 Gender Equality Duty under the Equality Act 2006 Human Right Acts 1998 Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 Equality Act 2006 Equality Act 2010 Protection of Freedoms Act Health and Safety The Woodroffe School retains a duty of care at all times, and we will ensure o Placements are vetted, in accordance with Health and Safety Procurement Standards 1 (HASPS) by a trained and competent person either in the School/Academy or service provider o We will ensure our students are matched carefully to the placement and support the student when they are on a placement 2
3 o Our students are prepared and briefed about health and safety and understand how to identify hazards and the sort of control measures that can be put in place to reduce the risk of injury or accident o Our students develop a set of safe behaviours, so that they play an active part in the process and acquire practical, transferable skills from their experience o Students must not work excessively long hours, no more than 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week, 5 days per week with no unsocial hours o Any contracted work experience organisation or internal team (as appropriate), organising work experience for our students will be competent in health and safety and able to decide on the suitability of any placement o Systems are in place to ensure the health, safety and welfare, so far as reasonably practicable, of placements, i.e. H&S Policy, Risk Assessments, communications and consents o Students are supervised by competent people whilst on work experience o Any contracted work experience organisation or internal team (as appropriate), organising placements will ensure specific activities that students undertake on a work placement take account of any restrictions and prohibited work aligned to age. We will remain aware of legislation and guidance documents relating to work experience published by the Department for Education and the Health and Safety Executive and update this policy as appropriate. 6. Safeguarding Our duty of care extends to all students, including those who undertake work experience. We will o Ensure any service provider who arranges, vets or monitors work placements for students on our behalf has training in child protection o TheWoodroffe School or service provider (as appropriate), will provide employers or training providers hosting students, a child protection policy/statement of principles. o Identify actions to be taken, when and by whom, if any child protection issues are raised prior to, during or after the placement o Provide students with clear advice and a point of contact at the Woodroffe School in case of problems. We will consider any potential risks to students to see if any additional safeguards are needed in the case of o Any young person who is vulnerable, eg special needs, immaturity, is known to have experienced abuse or neglect, substance misuse o A student who is likely to be alone with an adult as part of the work placement, eg sole trader, journey person, self-employed person working from home o The work placement having a residential component. 3
4 We will ensure the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Checks are in place in the work place to support students who are: o Vulnerable due to immaturity, educational, medical, behavioural or home circumstance and those who have special educational needs o On placements lasting more than 15 days over an extended timeframe, especially when these involve o Regular lone working with an employer over long periods o Placements located in particularly isolated environments with 1:1 working o Placements involving a high degree of travelling on a 1:1 basis o Placements which include a residential element. Where a DBS check is required we will ensure that this is completed with a successful outcome before any student enters the workplace. The Woodroffe School will arrange visits to the student and employer during the work placement. Any member of staff visiting a workplace will be provided with details of the job description, risk assessment and any specifics and restrictions. Reference will be made to the Pan Dorset Interagency Safeguarding Procedures 7. Quality Assurance In order to offer a quality work experience programme we will: o Ensure the employer and the workplace is suitable for a work experience placement o Carefully match students to placements and support them throughout the experience o Ensure parent/carer/carers receive employer risk assessments before giving consent to a work experience placement for their son/daughter o Pursue a policy of equal opportunities that considers the needs of the six equality groups Race/Ethnicity to include Gypsies/Travellers, Disability, Religion and/or belief, Sexual orientation, Age, Gender. o Counter gender stereotyping, take cultural issues into account, increase student confidence and challenge under achievement. We will implement and monitor the responsibilities for parent/carers/carers, employers, work experience provider, students and ourselves in line with the Quality Standard for Work Experience, DCSF 2008 as below. All the essential criteria (E) will be in place and the desirable criteria (D) as appropriate. 4

14 Appendix 3 Work Experience Process Preparation for the placement 1 We will provide a protocol to deal with the following issues: Student absence from the work placement including days of religious observance; If the employer signifies that they wish to terminate the provision on offer; If a student appears to be receiving some form of payment; If the employer s and/or student s attitude to health & safety appears to have become slack; If the student appears to be treated as an adult; If the student is offered a full time job and wishes to leave The Woodroffe School If the student is attending the work placement but is playing truant from The Woodroffe School; If the employer offers to place the student on a training scheme; If an incident occurs at the work placement, eg theft, accident, misbehaviour etc. 2 We will identify the students for whom an extended placement is appropriate and will ensure that all interested parties are informed of the specific and often diverse needs of the student concerned. 3 Any placement should take place within the context of a curriculum programme in which the employer has a role in setting learning targets that have been arrived at in negotiation with The Woodroffe School. 4 An induction, which enables a student to understand the world of work and health & safety requirements, as well as develop skills and personal qualities, will be negotiated with the employer. The employer will need to understand: the aim and purpose of the placement; its anticipated duration; the means of monitoring the student s progress and attendance; the process of assessing the student s achievement during and at the end of the placement; Briefing before the placement 1 The student will be made aware of: Health & safety and their responsibility in the workplace What to do if unable to attend or if ill How to record achievements whilst on the placement Things to do in certain situations ( What if.? scenarios, particularly in relation to Safeguarding issues) 14
15 2 The employer will be made aware of the student s Medical conditions Learning difficulties Physical disability Behavioural needs Ethnic background, culture and language All the above have implications for the induction process, supervision arrangements, control measures and prohibition put on student activity, the sort of tasks given to the student and training for the use of machinery. During the placement 1 We will monitor the progress made by an individual student on a placement. 2 A suitably briefed member of school staff will visit the student during the first few days and thereafter at intervals of three to four weeks. Frequent visits will ensure contact with the employer and enable us to record student achievement and monitor progress toward learning targets. It will also assist in checking the suitability of the placement for both student and employer. Any member of staff visiting a work place will be provided with details of the job description, risk assessment and other details regarding the work placement before the visit to inform of specifics and restrictions. 3 We are responsible for the student s attendance on the placement although the employer will need to monitor it for us. 4 In the event of any accident we will contact Dorset LA Health and Safety team immediately. (Appendix 3 and 4) After the placement 1 There will be a formal review between us and the employer to: Consider the success of the placement Identify the student s achievements Suggest the next stage for the student within the programme Consider how the placement might be improved in the future. 2 We will ensure all evaluations are received and provide feedback to the student, which will assist in formulating new learning targets.
