[QUOTE="torhunter20, post: 897051, member: 149664"] This is upsetting and totally disgusting. I'm a retail manager myself and my team understand my condition and that I may sometimes need a little help, all of them know where my kit is should I need it. First things first a risk assessment should have been completed for your daughter by her manager when starting her job for both her diabetes and a young persons risk assessment, ask your daughter if this was completed. Secondly your daughter is limited to the hours and times she can work, she is also entitled to additional breaks because of her age. Unfortunately many companies that employs under 18's don't realise this. Could this have factored to her feeling unwell? I would email the HR director for the company, bypass the manager altogether. Ask those questions! Also don't be fobbed off with "our contract is with your daughter and not with you" (I've heard this many times in a previous job) she is under 18 and as her parent/guardian you have every right to ask questions on her behalf. I would suggest contacting UCAS they are particularly helpful! Goodluck! X [/QUOTE]
