Appendix 1
The BRTF made 5 recommendations:
1. The Department for Education and Skills should commence work on consolidating child employment legislation by September 2004.
2. By February 2005, the Department for Education and Skills should consult on moving to a system of regulation in which employers register with their local authority as an employer of school-age children, rather than applying for a permit for each child employee.
3. By February 2005, the Department for Education and Skills should consult on allowing children to work for more than two hours on a Sunday.
4. Following consolidation of the law, the Department for Education and Skills, working closely with local authorities, should produce simple, best practice guidance on the law which can be used by local authorities, employers, children and parents.
5. Guidance to local authorities on the role of Director of Children's Services should provide for Directors to have local authority functions relating child employment as part of their remit.
