Requirement

The UoC shall facilitate school attendance for any children living at the site.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Ensuring access to education helps prevent child labour.

  • No child under 18 working at the UoC may be:

    • deprived of educational opportunities (including attending school during school hours or after school activities)

    • forced to leave, drop out, or otherwise depart school early

    • forced to combine school attendance with long working hours.

  • When employees and their families live on site, the UoC supports access to schools for employees’ children. This may mean, for example:

    • providing parents the time to drop off and pick up their children

    • providing a bus service or bicycles to reach school when the nearest school is outside walking distance

    • raising awareness among employees about the importance of children attending school.

    • If children live off the UoC site, but on another site or at accommodation provided by the UoC, this indicator applies.

Evidence of Implementation

  • age verification records

  • information about which children live on the site.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • whether there are any children living on the site with their families;

  • the availability of schools in the local area

  • whether children living on site are attending school and how they get there.
