The Deep receives many enquires from students regarding work experience. A Connexions risk assessment carried out on behalf of schools has ruled out a list of ‘no go’ activities within The Deep for all students aged 18 or under including working with the aquarists ‘wet side’.
Students aged 18 or under wishing to come to The Deep should be aware that their time will be limited to
- Office areas (Finance, Marketing and Personnel)
