LISTEN: South Thanet MP Craig Mackinley on Saturday jobs for under 16s - 09/12/17

A Kent MP wants more businesses in the county to apply for child work permits - so teenagers can get real work experience of a weekend. Craig Mackinley says part-time work for under 16's can help them gain better social skills and will help their CV stand out. The South Thanet MP wants attitudes to change. The number of businesses issued with child work permits has declined by more than 20 per cent nationally since last year.
