Children at work

Children at work: A guide to the law

Given the complexity and inaccessibility of child employment legislation, this is an essential guide for children, parents, schools and local education authorities and those who employ children.

It provides coverage of: the age at which a child can work; the hours a child can work; the types of work that children may undertake; the terms and conditions of their employment; and the duties of the employer and the local authority.
