AnonyMouse_19920 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Hi, we have received an application from a 17 year old who has just completed her nvq2 - she has yet to be interviewed but if suitable can anyone tell me what extra steps i have to put in as she is only 17? what forms etc., do i need to complete? is it a lot of extra work? she would be employed as a member of staff not an apprentice. many thanks as want to be ready if she is the successful applicant. :0) Quote
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I think you might need to carry out a separate risk assessment for a young person. It seems to be somewhere in the back of my mind from risk assessment course. Quote
AnonyMouse_73 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 At 17 she can be counted in ratio and therfore as far as I am aware, you don't need to do anything 'extra' to what you would normally do for induction, probation, support and supervision of a newly recruited member of staff. Quote
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 When is she 18? Just found a gov document about employing children which states the age of a child rises to 18 in 2015. Will try to put link up. Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I thought they had to be 18 to be in ratios now? we have risk assessments for under 18 students includes use of knives for instance ! and dangerous equipment ! Quote
