Important information

Unifrog’s Placements tool is a work experience admin management tool. It helps with getting all the necessary information and agreements for work experience to take place.

The tool also includes a searchable database of placement contacts, to help schools and colleges source placements for students.

Using the Unifrog Placements tool

Here’s what parents/guardians need to know about placements forms.

This starts off a chain of forms.

After the student has agreed a placement with an employer,�they need to log into their Unifrog account to log the Placement.

After the student completes the first form:

• The system emails the employer to complete their form
• The parent/guardian form comes next
• The school/college completes their permission form

Next steps

Agree a placement with an employer.

Log the information on the Unifrog placements tool.

� Support your child to source a placement. Encourage them to log it on Unifrog.

Look out for an email from Unifrog once the student and the employer have� completed their forms.
