📊 QUESTION FOR EMPLOYERS

What is the biggest barrier to employing teenagers aged 13–17?

🔹 Financial costs
🔹 Employment laws and age restrictions
🔹 Paperwork and permits
🔹 Insurance and safeguarding requirements
🔹 Lack of suitable roles
🔹 Other (please comment below)

I’m trying to better understand the challenges employers face so we can explore possible solutions.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
