Child employment
The definition of 'employment' as applies to children of statutory school age includes assistance in any trade or occupation which is carried out for profit, whether or not payment is received for that assistance.
Many parents and employers do not know that children below minimum school leaving age who have a job that is part of a business are regarded as 'working' whether or not they are paid. If they are working without a permit they are unlikely to be covered by the employer's insurance policy.
Working in a prohibited occupation or without a licence in a permitted occupation can result in employers or parents being prosecuted and fined up to £1000.
