Child on DLA doing work experiance

Been asked if a child on DLA can do work experiance/voluntary work ?

Are you concerned about whether doing unpaid work is allowed on DLA? It is allowed. In fact there are some "supported volunteering" schemes for people who need a bit of extra support to be able to volunteer.

Are you concerned whether doing upaid work will be used as evidence that the child shouldn't get ESA in the future? No idea!

Has someone said the child is a health & safety/insurance risk because of their impairment and refused them work experience? I'd complain!

Sorry, wasn't sure what you needed to know. Try disabilitytoolkits.ac.uk/students/finding.asp as a starting point for information.
