The Department for Schools, Children and Families has produced a "Guide on Employing Children", an area that has caused much confusion for employers in the past.
It explains the types of work children can do, the number of hours they can work, the definition of ‘school leaving age’, and key health and safety issues. The guide is available online at: http://publications.everychildmatters.gov.uk/eOrderingDownload/Child_employment09.pdf
