YOUNG WORKERS IN THE WORKPLACE
Employing young workers brings energy and opportunity to your business—but it also comes with specific legal and safeguarding responsibilities. Employers must ensure that underage employees are protected, properly trained, and supported in a safe working environment.
SAFEGUARDING & THE ROLES OF A DESIGNATED LIAISON PERSON (DLP)
A critical element of employing underage workers is safeguarding.
A Designated Liaison Person (DLP) is responsible for:
- Acting as the main point of contact for child protection concerns
- Managing and reporting any safeguarding issues
- Ensuring proper procedures are followed
- Liaising with relevant authorities where necessary
- Supporting staff in understanding safeguarding responsibilities.
Having a clear and trained DLP in your organisation demonstrtes strong compliance and duty of care.
