Transport:

Students are responsible for arranging their own transport to and from the venues to reflect a real-world work experience.

Supervision:

While this is being treated as a form of ‘work experience’, there will be one teacher supervising from a school in the region. Please ensure the selection of the supervising teacher is coordinated fairly.

Additionally, emergency contact details will be collected on the registration form, there will be multiple adults with WWCC and First Aid qualifications in sessions with groups of students, and it is expected that students attending will be of the maturity level to behave accordingly.

Registration: Lisa from NELLEN to coordinate.

Risk assessment: Since this is treated as a work experience program, there isn’t a risk assessment document for this activity.
