Work Experience Manual and Resource Action Kit

This is a practical guide book to finding and monitoring work experience and the necessary classroom materials. It advises teachers on all the stages that lead up to a placement, including: setting out the initial aims and objectives that pupil, teacher and employer should have; the kind of monitoring and support needed; the requirements of the National Curriculum and how to ensure integration; special considerations such as equal opportunities, sex and race discrimination, language barriers and handicaps; health and safety; insurance and indemnity. The final section of the book is devoted to de-briefing, feedback and the steps that need to be taken in following-up the work placement. Throughout the book, pro-formas, sample documentation, checklists, letters, hand-outs and case studies support the authors' hints and practical advice.
