Lisa Macdonald's role is about safeguarding children who are in employment.

What do you do?

My role is about safeguarding children who are in employment. Parents, young people and employers are often not aware of this regulation - I know I wasn't when I was working as a youngster. We advise young people on the sort of work they can do, the hours they can work and the permits they need. I hold child employment sessions in schools, as well as visiting employers to ensure they know their obligations. I try to work with employers rather than catch them out, but we can and do prosecute when we need to.
