CHILD EMPLOYMENT

NEWSAGENTS RISK ASSESSMENT example

RISKS – It is the Employer’s responsibility to instruct all newspaper delivery children

in a calm but clear way on the following risks which they could encounter whilst

carrying out their deliveries. We recommend that these assessments are carried out

periodically especially if rounds change or any significant hazard arises. A copy of

this Risk Assessment must be sent to the child’s parent/guardian and a copy kept in

your files. Failure to do so may lead to the withdrawal of the Employment Permit.
