DO DON’T

  • Be proactive
  • Use the link found on our webpage:

http://ebp-sw.learnaboutwork.org/

  • Start looking early (ideally have things

confirmed before Christmas)

  • Return your form asap so we can

check the H&S requirements

  • Use your contacts – friends; families;

current employers

  • Use tutors; Houses; Mrs Robinson and

Ms Haywood for support

  • Be afraid to ask – many employers

don’t advertise but still accept students

  • Book experience abroad – we’re not

insured and cannot limit our liability

  • Assume all employers are H&S

approved

  • Wait until June – to book or ask

questions!

Students going to work with parents need to be approved in the same way!
