The LRC (Local Representative Committee - Which is made up of the LPC, LMC (Doctors) LDC (Dentists) LOC (Opticians) has had meetings with various people within the local authorities to try toorganise an easy method for pre-university students having some work experience within our professions.
It is difficult for the 17 year old students to gain access to work experience, and this is often needed as part of an application to university in order to enter our professions.
Some of the draw backs have been that individual schools have to come to inspect premises for health and safety reasons and to monitor what was happening etc.
However, there is a central register held by Connexions Hub Services, who will organise an appropriate health and safety assessment of business premises for free and then this assessment will be accepted by most of the schools within our areas.
