Children in Employment
Did you know that children aged between 13-16 years old can work or volunteer part-time? Encouraging children to experience working environments can teach them positive lessons about responsibility, independence and develop skills that will prepare them for future employment, but it’s important to keep them safe and ensure they are not being exploited.
