Petition Details

As a 15 year old, it is so hard to find and get a job. You go onto Student jobs, you have to be 16 when it says 'Jobs for 15 year olds'. To me, there is no difference between a 15 and a 16 year old working. 1 year difference is nothing but it is when you have to wait that long for an income!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

From the age of 13 children can work part-time. You can find out about the rules relating to child employment here: www.gov.uk/child-employment

We could accept a petition calling for changes to the rules on child employment, but it would need to be clear what changes you want to be made to existing rules.
