We appreciate that some of you may struggle with transport but the more
flexible you can be the easier it is to find a placement. Your parents DO NOT HAVE
TO TAKE YOU
Unfortunately in the current climate some companies will say no. Please try and persevere and don’t give up.
If you don’t find a placement you are in school!
