The Department for Children, Schools and Families has produced guidance which sets out the key provisions of the law governing the employment of children under the school leaving age. This covers age limits and permitted hours of work, what kind of work children are allowed to do, permits and health and safety requirements. ‘Guidance on the Employment of Children’ can be downloaded here.
