Without a doubt the most important element of all of our Work Experience, Work Placement, Internship and Language Training Programmes is the welfare and safety of the Students and Beneficiaries staying with us.

For many of the Beneficiaries that come to the United Kingdom on these Programmes, it is their first time away from home, let alone the first time they have visited another country.

The combination of a new country, new culture and new language can lead to difficulties that, if not supported in the right way, can lead to a breakdown in the programme and result in either an unhappy Beneficiary, or ultimately an individual that simply wants to go home.

Our job when it comes to the health, safety and wellbeing of the Beneficiaries in the UK on our Programmes is to ensure that this does not happen.

It is our objective that at the end of every Programme, the Student or Beneficiary returns to their home country having enjoyed their Programme, achieved their objectives and in possession of an improved CV. We do not want them to have an unhappy experience; we do not want to fail them!

To ensure that we get this right, and achieve our objectives, every Work Experience UK office has a dedicated Beneficiary Welfare Officer responsible for ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of all students and Beneficiaries in the UK on a Work Experience UK Programme.

When Students and Beneficiaries arrive in the United Kingdom, we provide them with information about living and studying in the UK, and put them through a comprehensive orientation programme that is designed specifically to make them aware of the issues that may affect their health, safety and wellbeing whilst in the UK.

Work Experience UK provides a 24 hour a day, 365 day a year welfare support infrastructure! Every Student and Beneficiary is provided with appropriate contact telephone numbers which are manned 24 hours a day.

In addition, Work Experience UK has contracted with medical service providers in every town in which we operate so that Beneficiaries can get appropriate medical attention whenever they need it.

The Welfare Officers are also responsible for all liaison between Work Experience UK, the Student or Beneficiary, the Agent or Partner and Beneficiaries next of kin for all issues relating to welfare.

In addition to the Welfare Officers, all of our Accommodation Providers have received training from Work Experience UK in the processes implemented within Work Experience UK that relate to Beneficiary Welfare.

Also, to support our Welfare Officers, we have also developed relationships with a network of other appropriate organisations, including local Social Services, counseling services and various crisis support organisations.
