Organisation Gloucestershire County Council Issue Lack of information around employment rights for young people
THE SITUATION
Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) within Gloucestershire identified employment rights for young people as a key priority. Through consultation with young people, the MYPs discovered that many young people were confused about a number of issues including the type of work they were allowed to do, how many hours they could work and where they could seek advice. It was decided to create an employment booklet especially for young people.
WHAT CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE SAID
"I read the booklet and I went to the Connexions web site, then went to the one-to-one talk with one of the operators/advisers on the web site and they told me what to do... I am writing up my CV to give it to a company and hopefully it will get me a job."
