Work Experience and Volunteering

Whippersnappers Safeguarding Statement

Whippersnappers use safer recruitment practices to ensure that all people working with the children in our care are safe and qualified to do so. When recruiting paid staff or volunteers, we will follow Whippersnappers safeguarding policies and procedures. All staff and volunteers aged 16 and over will be required to have an enhanced DBS certificate and provide 2 referees prior to commencing work.

Whippersnappers offer work experience to secondary school pupils and college/ degree students. Work placements can last anything from 1 week to 1 year. We are totally inclusive, so don’t hesitate to contact us. We also offer Duke of Edinburgh placements. Please contact us if you are interested!
