work experince

[Leannetrim]

My cousin has been in contact with me asking if she could do work experince with me, I'm not sure if she can ???? as she does want to go into childcare and finding it hard to find a place.

Can I say yes or is it not allowed ?????

Didnt want to read and run .........check with ofsted ...im sure she would need a crb though anyway .

How old is she??

If shes under 16 she wont need a crb. You need to inform ofsted but you are allowed as long as they wont have unsupervised access to the children.

You also need to tell your insurance company.

I have insurance through NCMA. They issue an employers certificate (i think that was it?) it was free but someone told me they had to pay £5 for one.

Who are you insured with? Ring and explain, should be ok.
