Petition Employing young children
More details
Permitting young children to work outside iof school hours is good. It teaches them to appreciate the value of effort and reward.
The present system of obtaining a permit to work is unweildy, expensive to operate and a disincentive to both employer and employee and should be repealed. Parental approval direct to the prospective employer should be enough without the need for local authority intervention.
