About the placement
You need to research a placement using the
guidance given. Some of you will have a good
idea where you want to go and what you want to
do. Others of you will have a more general idea of
the area they would like to work i.e. work with
animals, retail, construction.
Once you have a suitable contact, an enquiry must
be made by letter, phone, email or in person.
HOWEVER ALL PLACEMENTS MUST BE
CONFIRMED IN WRITING
Cont.
• Once the placement has been confirmed by the
company, details must be brought in to the school office
to ensure H&S checks have been completed ( we will
come back to this in a minute)
Company name, name of contact, address, postcode,
telephone number.
• Form Tutors have a piece of paperwork for you to
complete once you have these details.
• You will receive a staff visit during the placement.
• You will receive a WE report from the employer to put
into the Progress file
• You will complete a diary while on placement
Health and Safety
• All placements have to be Health and Safety
checked by Dudley EBP otherwise you are not
covered by our insurance.
• If the placement is not on the database we have
to request a Health and Safety check. These
checks can take up to 12 weeks. You must
hand in placement details ASAP.
• If the placement is classed as “ out of area” we
may be charged to check. We cannot pay for
these checks but we will contact home and ask
what they want us to do….it can be up to £60

We appreciate that some of you may
struggle with transport but the more
flexible you can be the easier it is to find a
placement. Your parents DO NOT HAVE
TO TAKE YOU
Unfortunately in the current climate some
companies will say no. Please try and
persevere and don’t give up.
If you don’t find a placement you are in
school!
If you are struggling to find a
placement ask!!!!!
What do you need to do?

work experience.
