    We did here in the CSC, Basingstoke. I can't remember who set it up. I
    will follow this up offline for you if you like.

    The word from here, (our secretary) is that you will need to get your
    manager to authorize this, get HR's approval, (insurance indemnity etc)
    and then get PM&S to set up a cardkey for access. Make sure everyone
    knows who he/she is and how long they will be there for. 
    
    From my experience, you will also need to have some kind of liason with
    the students school (tutor). Work Experience students tend to take up a
    lot of time in terms of someone explaining Health and Saftey at Work
    (The Health and Saftey at Work Act), security etc. If you or your group
    can afford the time, then there is no real reason why you should not be
    able to do so.

    Thanks for the replies.
    
    Seeing as all secondary schools in Berkshire offer their 15-16 year
    olds a week with a local employer during their GCSE course I would have
    thought Digital Reading, as a key community member, would have a formal
    mechanism in place etc complete with necessary school liason etc. I was
    hoping that this note would reveal who that was. However, I realise
    this might have been somewhat naive of me.
    
    Thanks for the help anyway,
    Richard

|  |     The allocation of work experience students used to be done through 
    DECollege at Decpark, whether this is the case now...who knows?. I used
    to organise, via DECollege, work experience students for MCS engineers
    at Decpark about 6 years ago.

...and before  that it was done as it sounds to be done now. 
I'd forgotten about my couple of weeks long ago work-experiencing in 
personnel - that must be *years* ago now... 1,2,3,mumble, hmm, 
14 years ago it was just arranged with the manager who you'd be 
working for. I don't think I took much time for anyone, they just 
sat me in the desk (in F2 in the relatively newly opened DEC park), 
told me where the diary was kept, where things were filed and how 
to use my machine for w/p and printing. 
I even volunteered to stay on an extra fortnight in my easter 
holiday, then again, I know I'm mad, I've always been mad, just 
to quote.. I came back and I've since turned down redundancy 
twice, now if someone will just undo the straps on my jacket 
sleeves I can drink my coffee.......

|  | Nobody, even now, has ever told me about the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Why is it different for work experience people?
I guess we must be getting more responsible.

It's all covered in the induction course your manager books you on when you 
join.

|  |     So everyone who joined after 1974 should have been through this....
    
    (thats when the act came into force).
    
    I've not received any information directly about this (but have seen
    mails from various H&S commitees over the years).

|  | Err,
I left Digital in June last year and rejoined in March this year. In 1986 
when I first joined no-one spoke about the HSWA on my induction course. This 
time I didn't have an induction course. (I guess I know enough about Digital 
these days)

|  | Hi Alan,
The real world was *too* slow for me. I didn't get that much work to do, so I 
came back to work in NSIS!
And No, I haven't got your brouter manual - I left it at EOL in the computer 
room. If it's not there now - well who knows where it is.
Its about time you traded in for a proper ISDN router. RouteAbout Access EI.
Cheers,
Stu
