[QUOTE="onesiedale, post: 7654259, member: 13510"] I wouldn't rely too much on any help from the school. Go with your instincts once you have met the lad. If he is coming for work experience make sure you have in your mind some plans of stuff that can be done WITH him. Don't just give him a job to do and leave him. Always have a plan B as well in case things don't go to plan. Sometimes good to get a job planned that you've been putting off for a while but which you could use an extra pair of hands. Fencing, painting pressure washing always work well. Our latest work experience came to us last September (1 day/week through term time) as a very shy and unstable vegan teenage girl who clearly has issues with self harming. School basically dumped her on us. However, the reward to us has been to see that we have made a difference to her life now. She smiles, she's happy and self confident. She engages in conversation and is no longer a vegan! One thing for sure, she has been better off with us than in 'the system' Good luck! [/QUOTE]
