The moral blackmail bit

Remember

you are representing the

Bad behaviour = placements being

Good behaviour = part time job for
you?

Social Media
DO NOT criticise or talk negatively about
your colleagues or your employer on any of
your social media sites!

If you feel you are being unfairly treated:

speak

to 1) employer, 2) parents, 3) school

tell us
Examples working 8 hours without a
break
Not unfair not being allowed to listen to
your ipod on the shopfloor or being asked
to make the tea deal with it!

during designated break times

theyll just sack you
