Child Employment

A child can gain so much from having a part time job, not only by reason of earning money, but also working with other people in the work environment thus helping them with their social skills.

The employment of children is covered by strict rules and regulations which protect children from any harm or being exploited and to make sure the child’s health and education does not suffer.

The Local (Education) Authority is the agency which, in law, has the authority of over seeing children who have a part time job and of prosecuting any employer who breaks the law. In Wrexham this falls to Education Inclusion within the Prevention and Inclusion Department of the Children and Young People Service.
