Policy and Guidance for Schools
The responsibility for arranging work experience placements was
delegated to governing bodies in April 1999, following consultation
with schools.
Both the LEA and Schools have a range of legal responsibilities
in relation to the organisation and delivery of work experience.
The purpose of this document is to set out more fully the respective
responsibilities of the LEA and schools for the provision of work
experience for the young people in Hertfordshire.
The guidelines and policy set out in this document are concerned
with the organisation and health and safety requirements of all
work experience programmes for all age groups of students organised
by LEA educational establishments maintained by Hertfordshire
County Council. When changes occur, all LEA establishments to
which they apply will be issued with updated guidance.
