The document provides guidance for conducting workplace reviews with a young person (YP). The review should cover the YP's current duties, any new skills gained or training completed, qualifications and support, regular pay, work and non-work related concerns, and future prospects. Key points to discuss include comparing current duties to initial ones, health and safety training, meeting regularly with assessors, receiving support for qualifications, payment, safeguarding, and offering the YP continued employment or different prospects after apprenticeship. The reviewer should recap notes, agree action points, complete review sheets, and schedule follow up.

Before you start...

initial ones to show progress. Work days and times.

they get support? Do they have contact details? Does YP have the facilities and time to
do this at work? Do they find the qualification relevant to the work? Are they having to
cover literacy, numeracy or ICT? If so, how is that progressing? Finally, have you a date
booked to see your assessor? Do you know when you will finish your qualification?
Support from the company: Is YP getting support? Do they feel comfortable is asking for
help? Is the organisation providing time and resources to complete your qualification?
